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.

Dang, you beat me to it. Came up under “1954 Mercury dash” in Google.
Cars had so much fun gadgetry back then.

It’s definitely a Chrysler product — my guess is Plymouth. Your theory about the air vents sounds right. Actually, I’d forgotten about air vents — mid-century AC.

Under the speedometer there is a guage for each of the four levers with what looks like a gas guage in the middle. I can’t zoom in enough without pixelation to see what clue the guages might offer.

You are right. Google search found this dash from a '54 Mercury Monterey. Looks like a match.

Is that a dash mounted rear view mirror at the top and center of the picture?
And what are those levers?
Ventilation and heat control?

I was judging by the windshield pillar. The Lincolin and Merc shared a basic body in ‘49 - ‘54

According to my hubby it is an American Motors Company Rambler
All of the levers were on the dashboard. 53-54?

Cool — he’s got the little reflector thing for viewing traffic lights that are overhead. Saved you from having to crane your head to look up at it. That was an option on the 1951 Chevy truck I used to own.
