    I posted some time back. It is still a mystery what this was in. I have asked some very knowledgeable old car people, but no one has been able to identify, so I thought I'd post again to see if someone could tell me what came out of. Can anyone tell me what car/truck this Dash came from.
    It appears to be made of a cast aluminum, magnets will not stick to it.
    Thanks for any help! Joe[​IMG]

    It is 44 1/2 wide about 9 inch on the ends and 13 inches in the middle.

    That narrow, it's either an old pre-war American car, or could be a old British dash.

    Late 20's Dodge cars also had oval instrument clusters...

    Not a '36 Hudson or Terraplane. The dash contour is considerably more rounded, though the instrument cluster hole does appear similar in size. You may be closer with the '35, however...
     
  15. Definitely something pre 1939...

    I don't believe Dodge ever produced aluminum dashboards. At least not THAT early.
