Dimensions of 52 Buick Gauges

[Mutt's37Buick]

Is there anyone out there that can tell me the inside diameter of the instrument bezels on 1952 Buick Speedometer and other gauges?
(In other words, the diameter of the glass that shows)
What years would these gauges be common to?
Thanks

If you say it's a 1952 Buick instrument panel, it's from a 1952 Super (50 Series) or Roadmaster (70 series) . . . . . a larger speedometer with two smaller gauges . . . . . typical of all 1950 series Buicks, and 1951 thru 1953 50 & 70 series Buicks. There are many variations on the lettering, needles, arrows, background colors, etc. on the speedometer and gauges; top speed shown on speedometers might also differ.

1951 thru 1953 Buick Specials (40 Series) have one speedometer and one quad-instrument gauge, side by side, both the same in size.

Here are the dimensions that you are asking for, taken from my 1953 Buick, Series 70, instrument panel, similar looking . . . . .
Speedometer: 4.625" (4 5/8") of exposed glass.
Other two gauges, AMMETER/THERMO and GAS/OIL: 3.000" (3") of exposed glass.

Only 1953 50 & 70 series speedometer and gauges are OEM 12-volt.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for this detailed information.
In my opinion these are some of the best looking gauges on any car, any year.
