That speedo looks odd... oddly wrong, the font of the numbers is wrong.
Anybody seen this before in a real early speedo??


If you were referring to the speedo in this picture....

...it has clearly been PhotoShopped. And not very well. Look at the "40" in particular. It is not on the same circle as the rest of the numbers. You can also clearly make out a masking line around the large grey center of the speedo. The back ground of the numbers is much darker than the true background of the speedo and even some of the odometer numbers have been masked off. Even the "MPH" at the bottom of it looks suspect to me.

Makes me wonder if the red of the needles is real too.

Wonder why they would bother to doctor the font of the speedo.  Weird.
