The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Two rare 33-34 accessories?

I have worked on many instruments and gauges over the years and suspect that the red and white speedo pointer is not original to that gauge and has been fitted during a repair or just for the fancy looks of it. The needle does look European or German in design but the gauge is in MPH and not metric. The needle is also an incorrect fit being too long and over reaching the diameter of the dial markers. Several different companies built these 33-34 speedometers for Ford including Waltham, Stewart Warner and AC Delco. Needle not original in my opinion. Regards, Kevin.
