I forgot what a god-awful color that was.
My preference was the green,  though mine was red.
I do miss that dash board!
One time, while driving to a Thanksgiving dinner, my speedo cable  
became unbearably loud.
I couldn't see the next 100 miles with all that noise.
So, while driving on the freeway, I unscrewed the retaining fasteners  
of the dash, and pulled it out to disengage the cable.
My girl friend held the wheel while I kept the pedal at 70mph.
I don't think I could of done it with another car.
s.d.
