Randy,
I think the large round gauge near the ignition key is a vacuum gauge. The other thingy under the middle of the instrument panel is probably a gauge set for electric and oil pressure. What do you think? (o[]o)

It does look like a vacuum gauge. There are extra knobs/controls to the right of the ignition switch. Can't wait to see this car up close and personal.

That red thing looks like one of the many different automatic dispensers for products like Marvel Mystery Oil. There must have been one variety or another sold by every corner gas station and garage back then. Ozstatman has posted a few pictures in his blogs of some different ones found here and on cars down under.

I just sent my grille off to POTMETAL RESTORATIONS in Tallahassee Fla. They did good work for me on Best Other.
The main grille is 52 inches long - one h__l of a casting for that era. It was passable but all the rest of the chrome around it was new and made it look a little shoddy. I mounted it on a board 62 inches long with six inch boards screwed to the sides - should be a sturdy package. It was just a little too big for USPS so I went to UPS.
