Phaeton Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hello. Does anyone know the difference between 1936 Dodge speedometer with a black indicator and one with white indicator, circles, and red tip? Other than the indicator they seem to be identical.

1936 D2 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I don't recall ever seeing a white indicator needle for the '36 Dodge speedo. The only style I have seen for '36 is like the set of photos below. It is a black needle with small white lines on the two "chevrons" near the tip. Would it be possible that the white one you are describing is from a different model of car and was used as a repair or replacement for a damaged or missing one? Or an attempt to make the speedo more visible in low light?Do you have photos?

Phaeton Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks for replying. It looks identical in every way to the one shown in the picture other than the indicator. I was wondering if maybe they used the white and red ones on ambulance? If I get a chance I will post a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 More info: Here is one. May be the one you were asking about. It is exactly like the normal '36 Dodge Speedometer except for the white needle. Also check out the low miles! That also seems to support the Ambulance idea. Was for sale on eBay till 05-16-2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaeton Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks, believe that is the one. Ambulance makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1936 D2 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Interestingly enough, I found out the '37 Dodge dash speedometer has the white needle, three circles and the red tip! The look of the face is all different than the '36 though. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
