1959 - 1960 Chevy Impala / El Camino VHX Instruments

from Dakota Digital

VHX-59C-IMP




The new VHX Systems fit directly into the stock instrument bezel of a 1959- 60 Chevy Impala/ El Camino without modification, adding a wealth of features to this iconic vehicle.

1959 marked a change in the GM lineup, and the dash in a '59 and '60 Chevy was a home-run, extremely popular still today. Fitting into the stock instrument housings (not included) of all 1959-60 Chevy full size cars, including El Camino, this kit brings modern information to a classic design with no alterations.

Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems. Completely engineered and manufactured at their facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!

E85 makes inroads on cost and availability

Wed, 30 Dec 2009

Three years ago, we embarked on a Midwest road trip in search of what was then the Holy Grail of fuel: E85. Our findings weren't too positive--there were far more E85-compatible vehicles on the road in 2006 (5 million) than there were E85 pumps to fuel them (about 700 out of some 200,000 fuel stations nationwide). In addition, those burning the mix of 15 percent gasoline and 85 percent ethanol were paying a pretty penny for their earth-friendly ways, losing about 15 percent in fuel economy while often paying the same price as for regular unleaded.

The redesigned 2012 Subaru Impreza made its debut in New York on Wednesday with a more refined look, a longer wheelbase and a new four-cylinder engine.
