So how badly do ya' want a genuine GM compass?

Dear mid-60s Buick owners who believe in moderation when it comes to nostalgic trinkets,

There is an NOS dealer promotion GM compass on eBay right now:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1970s-nos-original-GM-CHEVROLET-dealer-promo-brass-auto-dash-gauge-parts/312072000224

The guy wants $145 for a 1" compass that clearly has suffered some damage over the years in storage.  Even more surprising, there is already a bid of $51 for an auction that still has 9 days to go.

It will be interesting to see what happens to this item.  I never thought people could be this addicted to nostalgia!  :icon_scratch:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

This is the generic gm version ! They made one which had block letters Buick on it , that was made from 1967 till the early to mid 1970's
