Am I The Only Person Who Likes The Elgin Dash?

[RUCRAYZE]

I wonder if Pep Boys is
up to the task??

now that's funny, I picture the rear end dropping into the changing pit as the "mechanics" forgot the center rail.
Wiper (singular for E), oil changes, air filter replacement require advanced training at the Boys. Beginners place the paper mats.
You get what you pay for,minimum wages -expect minimum results at best.
O f course, the front office guy is gloom and doom, you need new tires, battery and "winter treatment.

You left out the transmission fluid renew and the radiator flush.

Ah the vageries of retail...

The dash is unique but so is the sphincter equipped ketchup bottle. I just don't see the improvement !

Best of luck to you fitting it in.

I'd be more worried about the odometer certification and a future buyer questioning it, but likely I will be one that will risk that trouble.

Headlight fluid refill, wiper spring replacement, exhaust filter change, door hinge re-calibration, airbag re-filling...

Eighteen years ago, a lady friend of mine showed me a bill from a shop that I already mistrusted.
We looked at the numerous parts on the car that were supposedly replaced and (surprise!) they were old and worn.

Then I saw it on the bill...

"Rotate ball joints ---- $112.90"

In cases like that, I reach for the Pepboy Dismal to ease my stomach churning.

I'm just wondering how much of a weirdo I really am. Is there anybody else out there who thinks the Elgin dash is actually pretty cool?

When you see how damn cool that thing lights up and operates, you will be smitten! The dash to many will appear somewhat Spartan, but the layout is functional and uncluttered. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

I would add a temp gauge on the left side that's a mirror image of the fuel gauge. It would add symmetry to the design as well as function. I don't think most of the other gauges would have any diagnostic benefit over an idiot light anyway.
