    I've been looking at different Speedos for awhile now and I just can't find that "one".

    I don't want a 140/160 mph speedo. S.W., oem, custom, really don't care which. I've seen a few that I like and most are stock.

    So show me your Speedos and inspire me gents !!!

    This was in 1955 so technically it is traditional..."relatively" speaking.

    Take a look at the 1949/1950 Nash speedometers. Cool pods bit not for every car.

    Some Speedos deserve to be the center of attention with the other gauges around it while others just blend in with the rest of the gauges to become a package.

    I figure if I can find the right one I can custom make a dial face to match for a tachometer.

    Here is a Canadian 49-50 Ford that I converted from kilometers to MPH for a fellow HAMB'R 49-50 Ford kilometer converted to MPH.jpg

    I use the stock 1928 speedO,it only goes to 80,but really bottoms out at 75. Being I hooked it to 1957 Ford 3 speed,I had to make my own cable by splice,"A" cable,-to 57 Ford cable off tranny. with 3;00 rear gear. Took a shot at how it would read? Turns out it reads only 2 miles off a GPS speed. Before I ever even gave a try at making it work,I had some marks on my tach lip= each 10mph speed by RPM in 3rd.< so a tach can be used also. Go with what makes you smile !!
    Now days it's all just old way,as most have phone with GPS an shows ground speed closer then any speedO

    I found a pic of one that I kinda like, anyone recognize the vintage and make ?

    I guess I'll spend some time on Google to see what I can find.
