1953 Willys Aero Gauge $120 McPherson, KS

Was just discussing these last night (well I was anyway), with the external VR on the Aero large Speedo. Discussion revolved around the external vs internal VR. I had only seen the external on the earlier gauges say for example pre 1957 1/2 stuff or 6V rigs. The typical post 1957-1/2 large 0-9 has an internal VR to the Fuel Gauge that is used for the Temp Gauge.

Here you will see the external one hanging off the back this is listed as a 1953 and is the early version of the 0-9, 6V is my guess here being ’53 in general, you can actually use this chrome trim on a large 0-9 to make a slightly custom Tux’ish like gauge. I would know if I saw that, but it would take a keen eye to see that.

This looks very nice for what it is.

They played around with the numbers on these a little bit, I have seen 0-9, 0-0, 0-10 so they are pretty neat at times to see all that. My guess is the 0-0 and 0-10 was a calibration for the needle to be mid point with the available rear diff, tire size, speedo gear and keeping the desired number in the middle.

The typical Jeep is 45 MPH in the middle and that also crosses over to the kMH scales, which nice NOS are able to be had in the large 0-9 in kMH but not typically in MPH.

I’m not in the game at full list price here due to inventory I have, but if you need a 0-10 they don’t fall off trees, but you may be able to shake a few. Mine unfortunately came in trashed it was packed very poorly I think I paid $50 for it.

I think it will sell for exactly what the buyer will pay and the seller accepts.

If the seller sees this and does not get the price they need hit me up will add it to the Speedo Display. But it really belongs in a car driving down the road, it’s a nice one.

Information from seller:

A dash gauge from a 1953 Willys Aero. Everything appears in good condition except the wiring, which can be redone. The chrome is showing light pitting.
