An old pic found in my PC, according to the ownner , this is a New Old Stock Late late Ford Instruments panel. Look the front reset knob....

Hi Mariano,

This may be of interest:

Side by side comparisons of an original Waltham speedometer and a modern repro.

Very close, but a few differences. The numerals on the odometers appear lower in height. Zeros are rounder on the repro.
The odometers themselves appear wider too, resulting in the "20" being slightly encroached by the first numeral wheel. This could also be caused by the positioning of the odometer relative to the face. This, however, would be a result of the design of the internal mechanism.
The trip odometer is not centered between the "0" and "60" for the same reason.

A couple other minor differences but not a concern.

Still, a good looking instrument and would do the job well and unlike most 75 year old speedometers- it works!

Cheers,

The K S speedo is easy to spot: goes to 63 mph.

Thank you Jacques for your reply.
May be KS was the late speedo install by Ford?
Another panel for example found for sale here in Argentina
