I'm not sure of the year and don't have a pic but when I was a kid my uncle had an Oldsmobile that the faster you drove the speedometer would change color from green to orange to red the faster you went. As a kid that fascinated me to no end anybody know what Oldsmobile I'm talking about? I know it was mid to late 50's maybe early 60's

My '59 Dodge Coronet had a "ribbon" speedo like that, it changed from green to orange to red as you went faster, as you said. I really wish that I still had that car.

I think this one deserves a honorable mention. Behold the 1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT. Notice how the tachometer is positioned right atop the steering column, easy to read from the driver's seat, while gauges and warning lights of lesser importance like the speedometer and oil pressure light is located off to the side and out of the way. Gotta love'em, the Italians. - They sure got their priorities straight on this one. Unfortunately they changed the design for the next model year due to flak from the motoring press..

There is a chrysler instrument panel that has Speedomenter that is clear and backlit..so when I lights up at night it looks like theres nothing but numerals hovering in thin air .

But for thel life of me I cant remember the application.

But ,,,,,,,, I like most any late 50s or early sixties dash assemblies,,no matter the model.

Although I am slightly biased to any or all of the early 60s Mopar clusters....

Especially this one
