If I'm not mistaken, CSX 2137 was one of the three "LeMans replica" cars built in 1963. It did not have an FIA body (which appeared in 1964): the fenders were not as flared. I believe that the body and dash are similar to the three "Sebring" cars, including CSX 2129 below. This dash featured a Sun tach, Smith's speedo, three Smith's 2 1/16" gauges (
oil pressure,
oil temp and water temp), one Stewart Warner 2 1/16" gauge (the ammeter), and a Stewart Warner 2 5/8" fuel pressure gauge:
Here is a pic of CSX 2136, like 2137 a LeMans replica car, that also has a 2 1/16" Smith's fuel level gauge:
Here is a close-up that shows you what all the aircraft switches are for:
I like this dash a lot, and was originally going to use it, but, since it isn't "correct" with an FIA body, in the end decided in favor of the CSX 2557/2558 dash.
BTW, CSXinfo is a great resource for pictures; here is the link to the 289 cars gallery:
