I picked this up from egay and have no clue what it is. I bought it awhile back and the seller didn't know what it was from. Normally I'd just let it sit on the shelf but one of my close buddies picked up a model A roadster project and I thought I'd throw it on his pile of parts. I'm not crazy about the panel but the gauges are curved glass and 2 inches across. The Speedo is 5" across. I'd like to know what its outta cause somebody did the old snipola to the capillary tube on the temp. My guess is forties truck? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Johnny
If that speedo is from that panel, it's not from a truck, not with 110 on the face! The small gauges look older in style than the speedo, '30's maybe,,,,,
My trucks speedo goes up to 100, and its slow as #@*! I would agree that it isnt a truck though. I'd say a sportier car from the late 30s. Whatever it is its cool.
The temp gauge can be fixed. Buy a sacrificial gauge and freeze the bulb. Cut and solder the tubes together. They all used the same fluid with the same volume/pressure
Sorry for the huge pic. I just tried to get mine IDed last week on AACA "what is it" forum. No replies. I was hoping to find the temp gauge. I gave up, so mine is for sale Mine has vertical "brushing" on the gauge faces to simulate brushed stainless. My panel has some bondoed holes going around the speedo, so there must have been a trim ring in those holes. Might be an early 30s real expensive car due to 110 mph. The last set I could not ID on ebay and I got outbid at 200, turned out to be 120mph gauges from a V16 Cad dual cowl with a second speedo in the back that had no mileage odometer. The front speedo did. The winner parted out the set as Cad, and got like 900 total
Couple guys in my club have talked about doing this but we haven't tried yet. I'm not sure theres enough meat left on this one to splice in. Johnny
