Naw, that's where you put it when you want to Race. They didn't put reverse in these things. :lol: j/k Yeah, reverse is right where you see it. Goes back to that standardization thing - I guess having a standard for some things is a good idea, but I still like the chief head bright indicator. 8)

Thanks for the "Good Ol' Days" I remember that Hi-Beam Indicator well. So well in fact that I had to use my left foot to turn it On/Off with the foot switch in the upper left corner of the floor well in my '61 Star Chief. Mine also had a green Cold Water Indicator Lamp that came on when the engine was....well..... cold. Today, my VW New Beetle has a Blue cold water indicator just to warn you not engage the Turbo while the engine is cold.

I'll have to check, but I think Hannah's car has that "cold" light too - don't think it's workin' though. Ya don't find that switch on the floor any more, do ya? That old car has some class. No plastic on it either, I think the dash alone weighs more than my CRX. CRX might even fit in the trunk! :lol:

Open cluster, take out the sheet for lights, cut out that one, and put in ours... ;)

OK...drag me along for the ride....
What does it take to
1) Open Cluster
2) Take out the sheet for lights

I'm new to these cars, and till I get my manuals, scan tool, and other goodies for my b-day, I'm flying blind on these cars. But I'm pretty sure I know what I'd do once I got the light sheet out of the dash.

I agree
 
Yeah, that is sweet. I do kinda wish cars were more personal and unique from the factory. Thats why I like the Bonneville. Eventhough it shares the same platform with other GM models, it still retains a very unique appearance and attitude.
