 At Classic Instruments we build exquisitely hand crafted gauges and have for the past three decades.   We are celebrating our thirtieth anniversary with a unique new design awards program. Titled the “Classic Trophy Dash Awards”, Classic Instruments wants to call attention to the area of hot rods and customs that is viewed most often by the owners of those cars - the dashboard.  

The Trophy Dash Winners are judged by the Classic Staff as displaying excellence in design, planning, function and finish throughout. The five Trophy Dash finalists for 2008 were selected at Goodguys events in Pleasanton, Indy, Columbus, Joliet and Charlotte from entrant vehicles using Classic products or services.

 


Each finalist receives a beautiful custom built award (pictured above) specially designed for Classic Instruments. The special award features machined and anodized aluminum pieces mounted on top of an elegant black granite base. 

The winning Trophy Dash owner receives a special grand prize trophy and a limited edition leathermen’s jacket.

Classic was the only choice when we decided to produce our own gauge design series. Their intense commitment to quality and innovative designs keep them ahead of everyone else.

- Boyd Coddington

Having seen almost every instrument out there, I would recommend that anyone wanting gauges to complement their own car check Classic Instruments. I chose Classic to give my own street rod the right finishing touch.

- Tom Gale

Instruments are as important to us as any other part of the car and we only use the best quality products available! Classic fits our requirements every time. And, the choice of design options is a bonus for us and our customers.

- Barry Lobeck

No matter what design direction we take on a car, I insist on using Classic Instruments. The hand made retro-fit `40 Ford gauge panel they built for the Poteet `32 five window is the perfect complement to our vision for the car.

- Dave Lane

From our 200 MPH Vintage Air Studebaker to the over 200,000 miles we have put on our old `39 Ford Sedan, the Classic Instruments have stood the test of relentless use and some serious speed.

- Jack Chisenhall

Classic has always been the trend setter for street rod and custom car instruments. We have been a Classic dealer since the `70s and know their passion for style, quality and innovation is equal to our own.

- Ken "Posie" Fenical

Classic did an amazing job retrofitting the instrument cluster for our `50 Woodie project. We chose Classic because of their reputation for quality, accuracy and reliability.

- Rick Love

Classic Instruments offers me the flexibility and creative avenue to add that complimenting custom touch in quality instrumentation to our complex rods and customs. Their products and services are second to none.
