Attention
The newest product once again blends traditional hot rod style with modern components behind the scenes. Inspired by military sets, New Vintage has duplicated the feel of the very popular aircraft and military gauges of the '30s and '40s, but with modern technology. New Vintage started with the original military graphics and upgraded to domed lenses and stainless steel bezels for an upscale appearance. The graphics are duplicated down to the smallest detail, and a white-tipped pointer adds to the effect. Speedometers are available with and without trip odometer and also in a programmable, electronic style that works with any transmission sender. Vintage '40 series gauges are made in the United States, kits include all senders, mounting hardware, instructions, and feature a limited lifetime warranty.
