Jon Haigwood Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 On my FB Model page I have started posting a feature on some of the custom car builders of the past, Ed Roth was the first one and now I am researching Joe Bailon for the next one. In the researching process I ran across this photo of one of his builds "MISS ELEGANCE" . This dash might be considered a bit busy.
OldNYJim Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 My word, that’s a lot of gauges! I can’t even think of what you’d need all those for. Speed, gas, revs, water temp...maybe a clock ⏰...then seven more for good measure ?
Flat32 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Oil pressure, oil temp, manifold vacuum, crankcase vacuum, volts, fuel pressure, and A/F are some I have in addition. Not all analog though. I used to take tuning my Flathead Ford very seriously.
Scott Colmer Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 In the book Legends of Hot Rodding. There is a picture of Joe with that dash. Apparently that was all there was left after the owners went through a divorce. IRC.
Snake45 Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Maybe the owner was an airline or bomber pilot, and wanted to feel "at home" on the road.
