Photo needed. 356A T-1 dash
Hi Gang,
I'm hoping someone can help me find a nice photo of an early A coupe dashboard, with the speedometer on the left. Must be near original. For a book celebrating the 75th anniversary of the 356. Please contact me directly. Thanks!

Hi Gordon,
Mike Immarino in Ohio has a very early T-1 with European badging. In fact, he believes it could possibly be the first A car sold in the US based on chassis number. I will shoot you his contact info.

Thanks, Guys. I think I have that covered now.
NEXT needed image: a nice European Pre-A coupe, 1955. Preferably a 3/4 exterior shot from the front showing the script. Should be near original with no mods. Thanks!

You mean a type European or a european spec pre A. There is no such thing as a pre A European. Either a T1A European or a pre A continental.

Jules, Thanks for that question. Brain fade late in the day! Yes, I need a "Continental" pre-A photo. Duh.

Correct 1956 instruments should have the large center buttons.

I believe he is referring to the center of the speedo and tach, round buttons on the needles.

Re: Photo needed. 356A T-1 dash
Both my 1956 cars came with the big "button" on the needles. (On left) Looks like the later small buttons in the gauges in post #9 .
