Jon Haigwood Posted June 12, 2020 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted June 15, 2020 Share 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat32 Posted June 15, 2020 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted June 16, 2020 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Maybe the owner was an airline or bomber pilot, and wanted to feel "at home" on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
