Now that is a dash board.

I would probably crash the car because I would be staring at that too much

That's exactly what happened with my Orange Krate type of bicycle after my dad put a speedometer on it when I was about 6.
:laughing4:

Ross, how long does it take to clean and polish those wheels???
 
Depends on how long the service station attendant needs to bring it back. :)
 
I had the German cheapskate German catalog Version, not the real Thing; they called them Bonanza bikes over here, no idea why, probably because of the Western series which ran under that Name in Germany.
 
U.S. made superior to German made.
First time I have ever heard that said publicly.


Credit where credit is due. The US created this design, think Huffy was first and Europe copied it, there were some good tasteful creations over here as well, but many cheap ones with generic frames and different stickers with many simple imported GDR parts to save money.

Now the parts come from China and you thought it couldn't get cheaper worse stuff.
 
Ross, want to really show us how good you are at being totally badass?
Install that dash in you Pimperial.
You can't.......
 
I think I'll stick to rectangular. Or one of them brushed aluminum deals with the round gauges and ostrich trim.
 
I had a green Pea Picker! A friend had a yellow Lemon peel, and another had a red Cherry Picker complete with a rear disc brake. Cool bikes!

My Dad bought me one like this for my 7th birthday from the company store (Firestone). It blew my young mind that he did that

The back tire was a slick and both had Firestone lettering but it didn't have the shifter. He pulled it out of the 69 RR trunk and I couldn't believe it

Ross, I think you done an exceptional job on your Imp. Both of my Formal's can't hold a candle to your Imp.......for now.

You're too kind. I don't deserve any credit other than for slamming her down. It was pretty obvious that she needed that... The previous owner took exceptional care of the car.

I took the Monaco down to Cars & Coffee today. Lots of love for the big girl...
