I am looking for a cool old or unique dash mounted comp***. I remember seeing one on an old Buick at a show when I was just a little ****per. A little round ball in liquid happily bouncing from the East To the West and all points in between. Anyone have one they want to tease and dangle before me, maybe tell where it came from. Thanks.
I have this Airguide think it's from the 60s and they can be had at the only place to buy hot rod items or vintage stuff http://www.jcwhitney.com/comp***es/c16540j1s17.jcwx
A few others here including some very cool oldies http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=vintage+auto+comp*** Hope this helps
Hmmm. The metal Hull comp*** is very cool. I swear that this old comp*** was round bodied and chrome. It sort of looked like a miniature globe with the comp*** in the middle like the earth. thanks
You're talking about the Franklin Comp***. It was brown plastic bodied. I had one...gorgeous piece. Sold it maybe a year or two ago on account of having NO luck!
I tried to google that, I guess Ben Franklin wrote a book called the moral comp***. Was it fake chrome plastic?
I think I remember one that was a "chromed globe" but it had a stanhope Atlas or something like that. Maybe I'm thinking of and actual globe that had a stanhope Atlas?
The one RichG posted is like the one I had...but mine was in better shape...and I think I only got like $250 for it...SO HELP ME, I WILL NEVER SELL ANOTHER THING!!
My grandparents bought a new car every two years, and every one had a dealer-installed comp***. I definitely need one for my '61 Suburban. My wife also wants one for her '61 Corvair wagon. It's amazing how often we refered to the comp*** on the "data center" on our '01 Dakota and her '93 Concord when we were driving late models. Not having a comp*** is a real handicap some times. Especially when you're going old-school GPS with an Atlas. -Brad
