I always wondered why my father-in-law insists on calling my Model A an "A Model". He is from Arkansas.

Now I know...

The dash is EVERYTHING BETWEEN the two doors, below the windscreen and above the knees !

Shame on you !

Uh,....it's called a "windshield". If it was a screen the wind would go right through it.

Ransom E. Olds knew the answer to this one in 1901 when he decided to design a car with a Curved Dash

I agree with REO, but call (A) Dash panel and (B) instrument panel, or instrument cluster. A dash should go from one side to the other of a cars body and the instrument panel is found many different locations over the years, often in or near the Dash.
