Thumbs up Re: Motor Meter or Quail

The Quail and Moto-Meter were both Ford authorized accessories sold by Ford dealers. My '31 roadster came with an original "Ford" Moto-Meter and locking cap. Both were made of pot-metal. The Moto-Meter is still on the car and works. I did have to replace the locking cap with a repo one. The pic shows an NOS Ford Moto-Meter that I ran for a while with a 1935 French flying lady hood ornament. The NOS Moto-Meter and Lady are back in the display cabinet now. I believe the original Moto-Meters are more accurate then the repop ones.
