56 Dash Lenses
I am missing the lenses for the speedo, gas gauge and generator gauge on my 56 Victoria. I don't see any of these in the usual catalogs (Macs, Dennis Carpenter etc.). Anyone know where I can get them?

A picture the dash would help for those of us who don't know what a 56 Vicky has.

Re: 56 Dash Lenses
I glanced at the '56 Victoria dash photos in this search...
https://www.google.com/search?q=imag...utf-8&oe=utf-8 GAR64, unless you have something different, it looks a lot like a '57 T-Bird dashboard. https://www.google.com/search?q=imag...utf-8&oe=utf-8 The T-Bird speedo goes to 140 instead of 120 but the lenses look clear (not printed on like the earlier ones) and could swap in. *IF* that's true here's a link to the parts. Click this link and scroll to catalog page 37 for images and part numbers. (#10936 A & B) Scroll to catalog page 38 for the prices. (under $5 each) http://www.classictbird.com/Cockpit.pdf . .

Another source is Thunderbirdssouthwest.com In Texas if my foggy memory is correct.

If I were to get anything from TBSW in the future it would only be cuz he still owes me a favor. If you want to save on shipping charges a local craft / hobby store might have pre-cut sizes that would work just as well. |

Re: 56 Dash Lenses
This is my '56 Fairlane instrument cluster. If memory serves, they are just flat glass. Get the diameter from the openings and any glass shop should be able to cut them for you. |
