The oval window I drug home a few months ago has a speedometer in it that seems odd. VDO 90 mph date stamped 7.56 with a non clear needle and a large hole on the top of the dial for, I suspect is the high beam indicator. I did a quick search and found no matches. Anyone have a clue? There seem to be several things odd about this car.

It was likely rebuilt by someone using the 56 housing and a later speedometer.

Bingo! Just checked out a low light rebuild and there it was in the dash. The guy who used to own this car was not afraid to modify things. Must be a hundred extra holes in it! Thanks.
