Default Ever wonder what the letters C & H on your temp gauge mean? Yeah, me neither.

The internet is a wonderful place. My home page just displayed a featured link this wonderfully informative article from an automotive website on decoding the mystery of your car's temperature gauge.

They can't be serious can they?

They'd really be confused with a 63 Catalina that has a hot and cold dash light.

Donald ***en of Steely Dan pretty much summed it up In the lyrics to "Reelin' in the Years".

You've been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand

I can't wait to read about what the E and F mean on the fuel gauge and what the various causes of an E or F reading may be.

I guess i should ask for a similar "enlightenment" for the "winter" & "summer" labels of the Arrow-Meter on my 1917 Buick's radiator cap.

My daughter is getting some time behind the wheel now that’s she’s 16 and that’s exactly what she called it.

“If Aladdin’s lamp appears, hunny, pull over someplace safe as soon as possible and turn off the engine”

The icons they started including in interiors back in the 70s are pretty fascinating. I always liked the ones for the radio when I was a kid
