I went to post a pic over on PBB of a 25 speedo and discovered I didn't have any of my own. So I just grabbed this one of Steve's:

Which happened to be right next to this one of Phil's:

Just curious, I know Steve's was supposedly from Hawaii, anybody else have a speedo in kilometers?
 
I checked the two twenty-fives that I have in town and they are both in MPH, reading up to 80. I also have two early forty speedos and they to are in MPH but read up to 100. I guess the three speed gave them an extra ten miles per hour. I'll check the other two when I get north in a couple of weeks. The one from Ebay was supposed to have been brought into the country from someone in he military. We know how those stories go.

Jim - is that the speedo picture from ebay? I took a similar pic this weekend, but I don't remembering posting it anywhere.

Nah, this spokesmodel took me by the hand and said.........I've got something for you to see...... ;)

Probably from when I got additional pictures when it was up on auction.

Hey Jim, I told you the color-keyed matching spokesmodel is not a part of the standard equipment package. Available only on the 1959 FJ-Cruiser Ltd model with custom hood emblem and trailer tail-lights. ;)

I noticed the cluster on Marvs 25 is unlike any I have seen before.....
 
Not sure why Marv's has that speedo, that's the early one <'58 ? His black one is supposedly a 1960, maybe they were using up parts again, or the VIN is much earlier......

Actually, looking at it now, that speedo face doesn't go with that cluster.........
 
See what I mean about the speedometer face of the early cluster? I know there's a better picture of the early cluster somewhere.
