AutoMeter 1297 Details

Old Tyme White II Instruments from Auto Meter aren't your grandfather's gauge! While this series of instruments may not look all that much different from the traditional gauges of yesterday due to period correct styling and subtle touches like domed lenses and scalloped chrome bezels, the difference is in the details. Built with fully modern gauge internals with the level of accuracy and performance demanded by top racing teams across the country, these instruments are more than just a pretty face. When the sun goes down and the lights turn on are when these gauges really shine! Powered by Auto Meter's latest generation white LED backlighting for a full dial glow, making them some of the most visible gauges in the marketplace today!
