Description
Old cars, classic and vintage have some peculiar parts. This is a1900s Buick speedometer. Yes, that's exactly what it is - a speedometer. This may help me figure out the age of this car.
The artist, Mary Deal, is also an award-winning author of mystery/thrillers, a short story collection and writers' reference books. Read about it here:

Love the spoke colors!
Mary Deal replied:
Me too, Jean. But this old car is being refurbished. I am wondering if they will keep the original colors.

Speedometers have certainly changed! Nice capture Mary! v
Mary Deal replied:
Thanks, Barbara. I believe the owner claims this was the first speedometer created. Can't wait to see how he refurbishes this beautiful old car.

Ah, to return to an era of simpler suspension. How was the ride though? v
Mary Deal replied:
No ride, Kirk. The whole car is, at this moment, being restored down to its last molecule. I hope to get some great shots when it's on display again. I have a few more pics in it's current state in my Vehicles gallery.
Joan Carroll
nice detail of a classic car! v
Mary Deal replied:
Thank you, Joan. If you've seen the rest of my images of this car, you know it's in bad shape. But someone bought it and it's being restored. I will have more photos and info soon as that's done.

Very funny, Mary Beth. This is off one very old rusted classic. The man is now in the process of restoring the entire car. While I have some images already posted and will do a couple more, I also want to get some of the restored car too.
