1910's-20's Vintage Car Truck Column Mounted Vacuum Gauge Rat Rod, Motorcycle on 2040-parts.com
Vacaville, California, United States
|
Not exactly sure what I have here but it looks like it was a Manifold Vacuum Gauge that mounted on the steering column of an old car or possibly a truck due to the size. Housing has a diameter of 5 inches and the needle is still there but bent. Gauge face looks like it has 1-10 pounds, the words "performance" and "good" still legible. Clear covering that covers the face appeared to be a type of plastic, not glass as I would suspect if the gauge is as old as I think. Has a ball-socket mount holding the gauge as it locks around a column. Gauge is heavy and appears really well made but the rear domed part (cup) of the gauge appears to be made of a phenolic or bakeolite material and has some cracks.
I doubt gauge is worth restoring but it would look great on a Rat Rod holding a tachometer or on an old motorcycle holding a speedometer or other gauge. |

Mon, 28 Feb 2011Ford SYNC in Europe Ford owners in the US have benefited from Ford SYNC for quite some time.

New Nissan X-Trail starts at £22,995. But it’s FWD
Thu, 01 May 2014The new Nissan X-Trail (pictured) falls in price The styling of the new Nissan X-Trail, which arrived last year at Frankfurt, has eschewed a lot of the boxiness of the old X-Trail and taken on many of the styling cues from the new Nissan Qashqai. And in the process it’s perhaps become ‘softer’. The old X-Trail was more rugged than most modern compact SUVs, but the new X-Trail has arrived with a choice of Front Wheel Drive versions – no doubt aimed at keeping the price down – as well as cuddlier looks.
2012 VW Beetle: UK prices and models revealed
Thu, 20 Oct 20112012 VW Beetle: UK prices and models revealed Perhaps the title of VW’s press release for the 2012 Beetle details for the UK best illustrates exactly what VW hope to achieve with the new Beetle: “Less Flower, More Power”. Which is probably the only way VW are going to get anyone in Europe – certainly any male in Europe – to take a serious look at a car which is perceived as a pointless rehash of a once iconic car in to a fashion accessory for those who don’t love cars. So now you know the flower vase has lost its pride of place, and the 2012 Beetle is a bit more of a car and a bit less of a fashion accessory, you may want to know what’s on offer.
