Customs Dashing Dashboards...

I always liked the 54-55 Buick Special and Century dash with the airplane type controls for the heater and vents, also the 49 Buick dash. I loved the Pontiac high beam indicator that was a red Indian head.

 

Thanks to the HAMBers who recommended the David Holland book of dashboards. Found a used copy on Amazon, it arrived today. Spent the last couple of hours lingering over every page. Just what I need...more justification for obsessing over details.

 

Can I play? Y'all probably sick of seeing this one tho:


I added a 48 MOPAR high beam/turn indicator:

Some stockers. 1941 Cadillac:

1934 Packard 8:

How about for the rear passengers? 1933 Pierce Arrow "Silver Arrow" (shagged the next 2 from a 'net search):

They weren't the only ones who did that. 1931 Cadillac V-16 passenger compartment "dash":


Until next time, same 'dash' time, same 'dash' channel...

My recently finished dash in my ‘57 Fargo

Simple but, I think, classy.

Wow! I got a Deluxe Playmobile for Christmas one year when I was 9 or 10. The real item didn’t live up my anticipation. Still a lot of fun.

 

I’m guessing the Ford design engineers liked the 1956 passenger car dash so much they put it in the 57 Thunderbird.

 

Modified ‘51 Ford dash in my ‘36 Ford delivery, blended original ‘36 outer edges so it bolts in just like original. I added 3/8” to windshield edge to better hide gap.

 

Tucker

 

Without seat belts in a Tucker you could really be hauling a** when your head hit the windshield in a crash...

 

Plain jane but its not to crowded
