And, are they clones of those same Buicks I listed (aka pontiac, chevrolet, etc).  It says in the rules that you are allowed to guess multiple "clone" cars.

Where do you see a horizontal speedo?
(http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/HondaS2000/Images/Cluster.jpg)

Anyway the point is that horizontal speedos were highly popular on 50's-60's cars. That's where you want to guess.

I mean the same generation as the '57 Belaire that is so famous (I just don't know the exact years of that generation) and whatever Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile clones it had (I believe the Pontiac was the Biscanne (spelling?) but I am not sure about the others).

It's not a '57 Chevy, but even though GM did rebadging back then, the clusters vary quite a bit from division to division and year to year.

Remember, they changed cars a lot more back then so you have to be more specific.

However, I'll tell you right now that it's not a GM product.

It's definitely a Rambler gauge, but your picture looks to be out of an American. It's not the same as the dash in question (Classic and American had different instrument clusters. The American's has a longer needle and different idiot lights).

I don't know where Sean found this picture, but he might think it's an "AMC Rambler", "Nash Rambler" or "Hudson Rambler". The car was called "Rambler 6" or "Rambler Rebel V8", depending on whether it was powered by the straight-six or V8, from 1958 until 1961, after which it was called "Rambler Classic".

Well, you guys are close enough. I don't know much about Ramblers other than what I learned from the song: "Beep, beep" :lol: so I don't know how much they changed from year to year.

It is a 1960 AMC Rambler. Check the eBay ad for details:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4553259997&category=31863&sspagename=WDVW)

I'm not really sure who should get this one.

That's actually a "Rambler 6". There is no such thing as an "AMC Rambler".

Quote... he might think it's an "AMC Rambler", "Nash Rambler" or "Hudson Rambler". The car was called "Rambler 6" or "Rambler Rebel V8", depending on whether it was powered by the straight-six or V8, from 1958 until 1961, after which it was called "Rambler Classic".
