Re: Instrument "Glass" for 1956 Clipper

Thanks Ross.

So the good ones are from a '55 Clipper. Yes, they're quite attractive and they are in far better shape than mine. Looks like some of the decoration etc is actually on the inside surface of the plastic.

I assume they're hooked up the same way. The whole assembly is identical to mine from the front, except the fuel and temp gauges are swapped (maybe for right hand drive)?There's a small rectangular metal box screwed to the back of the speedometer housing which looks like some sort of power supply for the instrument lights. And there is a capacitor attached to that which I have not figured out yet. Maybe I need to look at the wiring diagram.

Anyway, thanks for the identification. Cheers Brian
