Yeah, real glory days..

I think it would be quite interesting to understand the (legal??) details involved with the "...little work" that would let a guy bury the speedo on one of these "top end cruisers". The only way I could bury the speedo on my '78 T-Bird was with a shovel, or maybe on a looooooong downhill slope if it was steep enough.

MattC, thanks for posting your comment and picture! It's generated a lot of discussion, and poked a few memories, too! Not necessarily GOOD memories, but memories just the same.
