1958 Plymouth Belvedere - Cruising home at night

[itsmegp46]

Stunning instruments and guages. Very clear and readable. So Awesome for a half century old car.

[AudioMobil]

@itsmegp46 I replaced the stock light bulbs with small neon lights (they are brighter and more consistant). The instrument cluster itself is original.

[itsmegp46]

@AudioMobil I didn't see one, but was there a resettable trip meter available as an option?

[CamaroManTed]

so its probably a replaca of the original AM radio but its an AM/FM?

[AudioMobil]

@CamaroManTed The stock radio is used as a remote switch for a hidden aftermarket unit.

[CamaroManTed]

@AudioMobil so this aftermarket switch,can make this i guess reproduction an AM/FM?

[Fradias11]

well, in the junkyard vid you sad you bought a fury with a 240km/h speedo but this one is a belvedere with a 120mph spedo, may you explain this to me?

[AudioMobil]

@Fradias11 There's not much to explain. That's my 58 Belvedere with stock 120mph speedo. I bought a rusted out 57 Fury with a 240kph speedo and a 57 Belvedere with 200kph speedo for parts.

[CamaroManTed]

im guessing the original AM radio?

[AudioMobil]

@CamaroManTed The original radio is not working, it went up in smoke when I hooked it up years ago. Apart from this there are only a few AM stations available and they don't play this kind of music...

[scatpack68]

is that odometer going............backwards??

[AudioMobil]

@scatpack68 Luckily not...I'm glad it's still working at all! :-)

Don't go falling in love heheheh. No really don't she'll kill you man! I've said this to you before and again I'll say it great job!

[gentle285]

sooo creepy!

[vwbeetleowner]

Where did you get the neon green lights?

[AudioMobil]

@vwbeetleowner This stuff should be easy to find. e.g. on Ebay. These are the same mini neon lights used for car interior or PC modding. You can use LED strings as well (they're even brighter), but I liked the neons better.

[mquiroz90]

@AudioMobil wonder there was a car that can go 150 mph like that same car

[ramagliaminuta]

More than the engine, feel the car very well the annoying noises! Take a change it tans am 83 pontiac black. ka ci aqqukki kiu fiura!

[Bancroft98]

it's wonderful creepy magic!!

[TheGarywilliams]

lol i named my belvedere bella but its just a 67

[MrArnoldCunningham]

whats that thing U can hear in the background like at 0:32 its like a piece of metal loose..or something

[DickotheClown]

is that 64 thousand miles or 164 thousand? ha!

[lyokocarthage]

did you do anything with the color filters in the gauge cluster? or colored bulbs? i was wondering because i have a 57 cluster that i keep onmy computer desk hooked up to a 12 volt powersupply but its not quite as green or rich in color.

[AudioMobil]

@lyokocarthage

I used a pair of green mini neon lights in the cluster, same on the radio. A friend of mine used a string of green LEDs, his cluster is even brighter than mine but I like the color of the neon lights better. Looks almost like in the movie... :-)

[lyokocarthage]

@AudioMobil how did you wire the mini neons? do they just run off the same 12 volt negative ground, positive coming from the light bulb wiring on the harness.? or did u use a separate switch ?

[AudioMobil]

@lyokocarthage

I just wired them instead of the original bulbs, even the dimmer works fine...

[strandwolf]

Is the Dee Clark music on the radio--or player?

[AudioMobil]

@strandwolf

Just like in the movie...that radio plays nothing but old songs! :-)

[gunny426plymouth]

@AudioMobil Haha! Love it, I hope to own a Plymouth Belvy someday, it will probably not be a clone but more the same for the music!
