mistery dash....

an interesting dash ...logo in the center is "A C F BRILL" the clock apears to be cord or graham ? but what is with the "air" gauge ?? no speedo in the center just cluster oil, fule, water, amps....

Thanks again for all who chime in !

Hi your dash panel is most likely from a Bus. ACF is American Car and Foundry the builders of the Brill transit bus. Late 40's - early 50's

Brill was a well known trolley/street car manufacturer in Philadelphia. That would explain the lack of a speedo I guess.

They also owned Fageol bus co and Hall-Scott Motor co.

A 1903 Brill-built streetcar on a heritage streetcar line in Sintra, Portugal in 2010.

The J. G. Brill Company manufactured streetcars and buses in the United States. The company was founded by John George Brill in 1868 as a horsecar manufacturing firm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, merged with the American Car and Foundry Company (ACF) in 1944 to become ACF-Brill and ceased production in 1954. Brill manufactured over 45,000 streetcars (also known in the U.S. as trolleys), buses, trolleybuses and railroad cars. At its height, it was the largest manufacturer of streetcars and interurbans in the U.S. It produced more streetcars and interurbans and gas electrics than any other manufacturer.

AND probably had air brakes?
