Re: Period-Correct Pair of Autavias Would Look Better

Not to mention that to my knowledge these cars were never run competitively in rallies, so there is no reason there should be dashboard timers in the first place.

: The all-metal look of the period-correct Autavia pair (i.e., no
: black bezel) would look better than the later pair installed on
: the glove-box cover. Even then, you have to wonder whether this
: last bit of decorating would improve or detract from the car.

: You are correct that putting the 1958-or-later Rally Master pair on
: the dash of this 1953 car is a questionable move.
