Both are good looking ...... maybe a red tell-tale on the 1940 tach though....

As for the 1935 series .... sweat.

How bout working on a 40's fighter plane mimic??

Regs,
the 1940 Series has the original 1939 issue US military graphics, so that one is pretty close.

I really like the "retro" look.

I'm working on a '63 SS and went with a combination "hot-rod/muscle car" look with Auto Meter Pro-comp.

I seem to remember an old Dodge Businessman's Coupe my father had (late 40's?) that the speedometer lighting changed colors at speed, i.e., 0-30 was white, 30-60 was green and at 60 it turned red. Am I imagining this or were there such lighting "options" on cars?

We had a '41 Plymouth with the changing colours at speeds, I think it was a Chryco option for some time.
Marks914....have you thought of putting convex lenses on some nostalgia gauges? I made a set once with crazy glue and watch lenses, looked great.

Naw, Glenn, you aren't imagining that.

One of my buddies had a '48 (I think) Dodge sedan. The speedometer changed colors as speed increased. Real classy!
