Normally has a date stamp (month Year) on the back

Looks to be a Brasilia Bus speedo.

Or even a late Brasilia Beetle with alternative fuel use

Too big for Type 3 or KG

I Think

1979 Brazilian beetle

I would say the light between 80 and 90 is when your headlights is om brights.

What is the date on the back if it got one?

Hi Terry, bus speedos I don’t collect….not on purpose anyway. ‘72 beetle…I’m not sure, the ones I have are all a bit different. Sorry

Will post more with time to get them ID’d.

Look on the face right down behind the glass at the very bottom they some times mark them there.

Seems like the ATF is for Automatic Transmission Fluid. I did see somwhere it is for the fluid level but in the pic it shows temperature.
