I just spent some time reading through the Service Letters 1940 - 1943 and yes... 1940 was predominately Econo-Drive, 1941 was mostly Aero-Drive and 1942 was Econo-Drive and Overdrive. Aero-Drive was mentioned in a 1943 letter.

Reminds me of the Marketing Department of the Airline I worked for.

I have two 1941 180 instrument panels, one in the car and one on the shelf. Both have the Aero-Drive label.

Edit: I just noticed on the bottom instrument panel in the original flackmaster posting there's what appears to be a turn indicator arrow just to the right of the "11". Or is it just a smudge? Neither of my panels have that.
