Can anyone tell me what is the name of the car that this dash is a part of? What are those levers in front of the steering wheel used for? Air vents? Nice looking dash.

Thjat is definitely a ford product, probably Lincolin or Mercury around ‘53 - ‘54.

It’s definitely a Ford. The column configuration looks just like our 1965 Ford Galaxie. The speedometer is similar, too.

The levers look like little jet engine throttles. Very cool. I’m guessing late ‘50s early ‘60s, but don’t know the make/model.

They operate the auxiliary snow-plow blade attached to the front end.

Agreed. Looks like an early sixties Dodge product to me.

Then again, it might not even be a U.S. make. Canadian, perhaps? Seems that I’d remember that dash if it was a domestic model.

Yeah, maybe early ‘50s judging by the size of the steering wheel and the fact that it’s a non-wraparound windshield.

Doesn’t look Fordish to me. Desoto?

They only made Edsels for 3 yrs and none of these pics match up with the OP.

Definitely a Ford. The speedometer looks exactly like our old ‘69 Galaxy 500.

Looks like it is an automatic. Did they have automatics back them?
