Hi John,

As always I am inspired by the work you do. It is amazing your attention to detail even on parts that will never see the light of day when the car is assembled. It is a funny thing that this is your next project. A 1940 Packard 120

I am currently restoring a speedometer for a 1946 Packard Clipper and I am curious about the speedometer and gauges in this model. All I can tell you is that they built speedometers like clocks back in the 40's. They have certainly got more easy to repair as time went on.

I am also curious if the speedometer has a trip odometer and if it is reset by a cable?

By the way, I love the dinette set and if I was closer, I would try and talk you out of it

Keep up the great work,
Take care,
Tom
