@@Peter_Yachymczyk Most displays that are marketed as an "LED display" are not true LED displays and are actually just the same full colored LCD displays we've been using for the past 20 years or so with the only difference being an LED backlight as opposed to CCFL. Now yes, many true LED displays in today's appliances are implemented in quite a plain, boring fashion, but I actually wonder if some of such displays could look and act like VFDs if they tried harder to make them look like one. I'm all for improvement in technology and considering how they work, I can see why many manufacturers are not favoring VFDs like they used to but it's too bad I haven't seen that many manufacturers try to recreate the beautiful, more delicate glow and precise, high contrast of VFDs. I think it would be very possible and quite cheap as well. They just need to run the LEDs at lower brightness, put them behind neutral density filters as many VFDs are, and design them such that the glow precisely stays where the lit elements are without bleeding into inactive elements.
I remember when the 929 first came out around this time, 1988. That was Mazda's top of the line vehicle and was meant to compete with the Nissan Maxima and the Toyota Cressida. Not many were sold but i knew someone who bought one and it was the most luxurious Mazda i ever sat in. Those digital gages and velour interior(optional leather) really make the interior of that car shine. This might be one of the nicest examples i've seen in a very very long time. Awesome video.

My wife's uncle pulled his old 626 out of the garage to start refreshing it after 30 years. It still has the original tyres and less than 30000kms on the ODO.

Both cars belonged to his parents.
Мазда 929 была доступна только для состоятельных, а в то время, состоятельные люди были довольно продвинуты, потому как уровень заряда батареи давление масла и другие показатели для них были не просто информацией, а важной информацией.

Lovely motor! I had one - a 1989 car - when I was working in Malaysia, many years ago. It was automatic, black with dark tinted windows and looked for all the world like a gangster's car. I loved it and wished I could have found a way to bring it back to the UK. No heater though, but stonkingky good air conditioning!
I owned a few of these Rear wheel drive luxury 929s. This one is optioned very interestingly, digital, but no Leather, no ABS brakes, and no Auto Adjust Suspension. US Market ... They all came loaded. A 5 speed was the base transmission for 88 and 89. Extremely rare though. They all had power everything, cruise, ac, auto climate, auto swing, adaptive automatic shift etc. This one has the very rare optional digital dash, fairly rare CD player and yet has cloth seats, no ABS brakes, and no AAS. The cloth is soft like velvet. I had a 5 year old 70k miles every option 1988, took it one time on a road trip with a friend from Seattle to Mexico. Had the cruise control set at 120mph at night from Redding to about Modesto 250 ish miles. Not a powerful car by today's standards but smooth and decent power for the time. Wood dash, Leather, sunroof, all power, auto climate, No CD player, cruise, air, digital dash, extremely Rare ABS Brakes (cost me 1,000.00 for 2 special abs only front calipers one time) and automatic adjusting suspension. Had a 1991 Wood dash, analog gauges, cloth seats, auto climate, air, sunroof, CD player. Had many 626, GT, LX etc 2 door, 4 door, 5 door touring, 1985 - 92. Could buy them cheep needing a clutch, fuel relay (common issue, little 3 inch metal can thing in rubber mount that failed and people couldn't find it) or something simple like that. Favorite one was a 1987 GT 5 door touring, with every option including digital dash, 5 speed. Great car. Took it on a trip Seattle to Florida Keys. 32+ mpg and fairly powerful for the time.

Brings back memories seeing this! We had an 89 wth analog gauges and I loved that car as a kid, my dad also had an 89 BMW 735i which was its competition. Even then, I still loved it, so many features back then. Not as refined in terms of road noise as the BMW but it was a great car. Wish I could find one in good shape today, I'd buy it
I've only ever seen a handful of 929's in the metal here in Western Canada. They so bloody rare! I have never seen the inside of one though. They look way more luxurious that I had imagined.
