The speedo thing is a reminder of how important it is to find the VERY few unrestored original cars left. No doubt the speedo was replaced in the green street car referrenced above. All to often "liberties" are taken during such a restoration. I use such a car as a "suggestion" as what it might have been, NOT "proof" of anything.

Some months ago we were treated to pictures of an original red street car unrestored and STILL owned by the original owner. Interesting the overflow tank was painted blue. Something you rarely, if ever, see on a restoration!
