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.CCC-joe-bailon-41-chevy-miss-elegance-1952-04.jpg.441747feccc3aa16118bf53a9ad5c4e7.jpg

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 ?

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.

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.
