I am in a bit of a dilema. I have been working on my dash for the Mav. I need to get the gauges so I can get everything fitted properly. Having a hard time deciding. So I am curious as to what you guys all think. Posted below are all six gauge sets. They are: Stewart Warner Power Series. I really like these. I like the blue ring in the middle that will bring some of the color of the car in to the gauges. Not exact, but close. New Vintage 1969 Series. I like the full sweep gauges that this series offers. The lines are green as you can see, but at night they also light up. Not just a bulb from behind. Classic Instruments All American Series. Nice traditional gauge. I have the same gauges in my 47 Ford, only they are the silver ones, not the black seen here. So, What do you guys think??
Stewart Warner. I don't think I would like the green on the Vintage series. And the All American Series looks more 50s & 60s. I also went with SW, the Competition Series... so I'm a little bias.
Ive been wanting to pick up a set of those SW ones. The silver inlay looks just like the stock gauges.
i like the new vintage you can see the gauges beter like a newer model car and when they light up it would look sweet in there
Not wild on the Font in the blue SW ones. I like the SW blue ones if they had the number Font of the 1969 ones. The vintage 1969 would be my choice to fit the era of the car. Clean and simple just like the car was designed. Also I believe they are electroluminescent?? They will light up real nice. The 3rd set is nice but I would think more suited to a hot rod.
Thanks for all the replies guys! Dave, what do you like?? Anyone else have another idea? I'm open to suggestions. I will tell you right off that to me Autometer doesn't make a single good looking gauge. So don't bother going there.
I voted for the CI cuz I like the full sweep gauges. I suppose SW has some also. I do like the face of the SW better, had they been full sweep I wud have selected SW's.
