| The top of the dash is covered in black leather, which is probably about 55 years old (?). It's very dry and some of it has cracked off in places but overall, it's mostly there and in one piece. I applied some leather conditioner all over... |
 |
| The speedometer (poor picture with all the reflections) with four minor gauges inside the middle section (oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature and fuel level). |
 |
| Tachometer with a clock and some indicators/warning lights... This one says "Jaeger" for the brand (well known manufacturer of the gauge) |
 |
| A little better picture of the speedo... |
 |
| This is the leather conditioner I used. It goes on wet looking (shiny) but dries to a kind of a satin level of gloss. |
 |
| The piece of leather that wraps the instrument cluster is a separate piece and stitched to the larger main piece. The shine level is due to the conditioner having been just applied and has not "dried" yet... |
 |
| Also applied the conditioner on this old/vintage leather jacket. This jacket was very dry when I got it (it was very dull and dry looking). The conditioner also helps with the flexibility of the leather (less likely to crack). Again, it's a little too shiny because the conditioner has not been absorbed/dried yet... |
