Saturday, December 11, 2021 -- Pelican Parts Cars & Coffee - Part 10

The two main instruments (speedo & tach) are cast metal pods.
They're painted with wrinkle finish paint and are very cool.
This is one very expensive way to do the two main gauges.
They only did this for one or two years.  Then they went to the typical gauge cluster layout, which is much cheaper to make and cheaper to assemble.

I have a pair of these gauges/pods in the garage.
Also have the steering wheel...

Nice cast wheels.
Look similar to the Ferrari wheel designs of the period...

Nice 328, not in red...

This Impala has so much stuff on it that it almost transcends the gaudy to the interesting...

Maserati SUV...
Probably the largest Trident logo every put on a Maserati.
It's probably plastic.

Can't tell but the Maserati badge on the nose may also be plastic (instead of cast metal with ceramic/resin).  I hope not...

RQ's car with the booster seat for his daughter...


I understand why but not my cup of tea...
