1935 1936 Ford Speedometer - “as-picked” 40+yrs. Ago - Dry Storage Ever Since! on 2040-parts.com
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US
This is a completely original, “as-picked” piece I pulled from a large parts buy I made 40+ years ago. Pictures show condition and here are some additional notable points: Speedo dial is straight and smoothly rotates 360° from 0 to 100 mph as you turn the rear outer hub (dial pin stop “0” – to the other side of the dial pin stop past “100” usually indicating the internal mechanism is not bound). “Tripometer” works smoothly – both forward and backward Housing has no bends or dents that I can see Brackets are all there and not molested Heaviest corrosion is on the light bulb brackets Speedo dial face is dirty, but looks like it would clean up nicely.

Fri, 24 May 2013As part of its sponsorship of London's Clerkenwell Design Week, Jaguar and the Royal College of Art brought together three generations of the design school to discuss the past, present and possible future of car design. Held in a suitably grimy warehouse in east London – with the sculpture by RCA students Ewan Gallimore and Claire Mille's we showed you earlier this week sat outside – Professor Dale Harrow, dean of the School of Design and head of its Vehicle Design program introduced Professor Peter Stevens, Julian Thomson, Jaguar's advanced design director and Alexandra Palmowski project designer advanced colour and material at Jaguar took the audience through their careers. Charismatic as ever, Peter Stevens kicked off proceedings that moved chronologically through the decades by explaining how he first became interested in "the art if car design, allied to the science of how they work" through his artistic parents and uncle – journalist and motoring adventurer – Denis Jenkinson during the 1950s and 60s.
