billbuickgs Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have noticed that some 55 specials have the Centuryspeedometer , the one with the painted circular diskrather then the needle pointer.It seems as if Southern and Western Specials have the disk type speedometer.Anyone have ideas or imput ????Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Specials came standard with the needle. The Century style has the trip odometer which is handy. I installed one when I restored my Special and while I like the trip meter, the disc reflects light from white shirts making the speed difficult to read.

billbuickgs Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Mike,That might be the answer , add tripometer and you upgrade to the disk style rather then the needle.ThanksBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yes sir.The Century style was a factory option in the Special, just to be clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
