titus did the hollywood have a peterbuilt emblem on it? i picked a set of 33/34 bones on that guy if it did in fremont ne 2 weeks ago.

 

yep, thats the one

Here is mine, but I've also seen them on the boats in the Deadliest Catch programs.

 

That insert likely had black wrinkle paint finish on it. Someone must have removed the paint to reveal the plain nickle plate.

 

Same thing in mine.
Some of the gauges are still curved glass.

 

heres mine its not SW but its all I could by with what little $ I had

 

Here is my pinstriped "Ensign" panel in my hacked up dash (Gotta get the feel for these things!) And two more pics once it was cleaned up. I like the engine turned versions but this is the first I have seen with this insert.

 

I picked these two up at the local swap meet yesterday. I think the one on the bottom is early Chevy (34'-35) and the other I'm not quite sure. The gauges are pretty neat and the engine turned piece is cracked in a few spots, but nice just the same. Any ideas on what it might be? I looked for info on the back and front, but found nothing. The gauges are ac sparkplug co. I'll be looking for a water temp one of the same year. The guy I bought it from said it came from a stationary motor. The other pic is of a Sun tach that I found at a yard sale. Just curious if anyone knows approximate year(62'?) Thanks for your help.

 

The "Hollywood" was original equipment in Muntz Jets from 1950-'54.

 

heres my anniversary present from my wife, a SW display panel, Her and Moriarity conspired and Mark built it and my friends wife lettered it.

Happy anniversary Titus.

 

i picked up a "ensign" or strait five on the hamb here from Lalos53ford (thanks) got it today and took out the old gauges and installed my partial set of green lines. all i need is a water temp.

Here it is, the mythical 10 hole. The first time I have ever seen one. I had only heard stories and never believed it existed.

 

I bought the 1st one from a boat shop thats been around since the 40's. I believe it is from 1937. The amp gauge is newer. Note the low RPM backward tach. Got the ensign from the same shop. Number 3 is from a 1925 Studebaker President with Stewart gauges. The newer SW gauges fit the panel (as shown). Number 4 is from an essex. The gauge is actually round but the panel only displays the rectangle shape.

Great thread!!

 

My old hiboy with a dash modded by Peter Coppings

 

here is a hollywood that i found today on craigslist

 

He wants $650 in the Craigslist ad! That is ridiculous, it's worth maybe half that!

 

Here are a few pictures of my Stewart Warner dash panel.

guess I could dig some junk out...or just follow....

 

Updated gauges in my panel

 

Got all the gauges for my first ensign panel with the greenlines.

Bought a nos ensign and fillid it too with greenlines, still need the correct sweep oil psi for it and it has a 40mph boat speedo but still cool.

I can't wait until my car is done and I can become a full blown gauge hoarder!!! I love the endless combinations, eras, and moods these different panels allow.

 

its a sickness, ive only really gotten hooked on gauges in the last year! now i cant stop!

 

I have this in a mystery 19' woody .........................

 

I agree! I'm happy you got the greenline water temp to round out your collection!
