Speedo ID, not the kind u wear

[cycledog]

I got this speedo for my roadster cause I thought it was kinda cool. Made by the AC sparkplug folks. Anybody know if these came stock in anything or was it an after market replacemnet unit. Looks like its from the 30's.

It's pretty big over 5".

Not 100 percent sure, but I think this is a product of AC, as in AC Delco. In the early years the instruments in most cars were not made by the car builder, but bought from someone else, just like lots of them used Guide headlights. One example is Austin Healy who bought Smiths instruments.

I have owned cars over the years with instruments that had some other makers name enscribed inside them. A guess would be that this is for some GM product, 40-50-ish because of the 100 mph range. Why I came up with that is purely a guess and I could be totally wrong. It looks like NOS though because of the milage on the odometer.

Duh, I just saw the second picture, yep AC spark plugs later became AC Delco.

Thanks guys thats about the same thoughts I had.
Actually Don it has been re-built, calibrated and test run, that the reason for the low mileage.

Looks similar to one I had in a '38 chevy pickup.

You might send a pic of it to these folks. They might be able to tell you what it is.

LOL, I thought they were able to ID any old speedo. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
