The dashboard design of the 55 – 56 Chevrolet Bel-Air is highly regarded by many enthusiast.
However, the nearly 60 year old original instruments found in those cars are hardly up to today’s standards of technology, response and accuracy.
As beautiful as it is, the unique arc-shaped opening of the original speedometer cowl in the dashboard makes the upgrade to better aftermarket instruments a difficult task.
Auto Meter aims to change that with the introduction of their Nostalgia Series Five Gauge Mount. This replacement instrument mounting solution for the original speedometer opening allows fitment of your choice of a 3 3/8″ Speedometer, Tach, or Tach/Speedo Combo and four additional 2 1/16″ gauges.
Specifically engineered brackets and replacement trim ensure Direct Fit mounting points to the dash structure and perfect gauge orientation. Specially designed black faceplate hides integrated LED turn signal and highbeam indicators until they’re in use for a subtle appearance retaining functionality without the need to drill holes.
Auto Meter says the finished result has all the appearances of a factory installed option. Nostalgia Series Five Gauge Mount for 55 – 56 Chevrolet Bel-Air are available now as part number 2207 from your local Auto Meter dealer. Pricing in the U.S. starts under $200.
