Mine had all the above and, like most, grew moss in the channels that the windows slide along.

But it had 3 dials: the large central speedo; the fuel gauge and a temperature gauge.

Yours would also have had a push button start (on the floor IIRC)- now there's an 'old technology' that we've gone back to in some cars!
