This is the same speedometer that came in my 1937 Deluxe business coupe. Hope that helps. Dave Collette

Thank you!

Good morning Peter, and Merry Christmas!


Your speedo is a '37 Standard. The picture below shows a '37 Deluxe, the difference being that the Deluxe has FOUR digits in the TRIP mileage window, whereas the Standard only has three digits. Dick D





Below is an actual Deluxe dash. Deluxe has the two vertical chrome strips, plus the BANJO wheel. Note FOUR digits!





The pic just below shows the actual dash in a '37 Standard. Note lack of vertical strips and THREE digit mileage window.

DD - Wow - amazing that Ford would go through the expense to have 2 near identical speedo's with the only difference being 1 digit on the trip portion!


Thanks for all the details.

HI Dave.

Ford did not produce a "Business Coupe" in 1937.


Only three coupe models available for 1937:

Club Coupe, DeLuxe Coupe and Standard Coupe.

Correct, there are no 37, 38 or 39 Ford Business Coupes.

I know that there was 1940 Business Coupe (with jump seats), which is called by some -- but not Ford-- an "Opera Coupe."

What years did Ford have an actual Business Coupe?

I believe that there was a business coupe in '41. There was a coupe with jump seats along with the sedan coupe with the full back seat.
