Ken Hubbard brought his 1935 DeSoto Airflow to the Ventura Nats... what a beautiful car

 here is another example of beautifulo gauges, and a rare example of the center speedometer and reversible panels in front of the driver or passenger so export cars could be have the gauges put in front of the driver easily, regardless of the cars desination

1937 supercharged Graham with a very interesting instrument gauge module, it clued me into why Hudsons in the late 40's had such interesting radio panels

below is why I was reminded of the Hudson radio

coachbuilt Packards at the Dana Point Concours de Elegance

 in the middle of the gauge above, on the left it says "Park" and on the right "City" ... and in the below photo on the far right the gauge has "Drive" and "Pass"

I've never noticed anything like that before. Also unusual is the radio, it's the middle gauge. I don't recall ever seeing a radio that fits into the look of the other gauges so well.

1924 Bentley with 1970's body, the Hawkeye Special. 3 litre chassis fitted with an 8 litre motor

 hmmm, this would be a handmade tach. Don't see many of those in Bentleys

I've never seen a vintage license plate with a new registration sticker on it... huh.
