If you own a 1958-62 Corvette, you know that the dashboard is iconic. Those chrome rings around the aviation-style gauges? That’s what 1960s sports car dreams are made of. But if your classic Vette needs a bit of a refresh, check out this VHX Series instrument package. It comes with machined aluminum instrument bezels that fit right into your existing cast housing, giving your ride a modern touch while keeping that classic vibe intact.

What really sets the VHX Series apart is how it combines vintage aesthetics with modern tech. The fully lit needles and backlit faces make it easy to read, even in bright sunlight. And those LCD message centers? They’re a game-changer. Inside, you’ll find micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize your display feedback to suit your style. And let’s not forget about the limited lifetime warranty—Dakota Digital has your back for the long haul.

Everything is designed and built right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is pretty cool. They’ve really pushed the envelope on what instrumentation can be, and it shows. You’ll be using your factory gauge pods, and the chrome triple-plated machined aluminum bezels are included, so you won’t have to hunt for extra parts.
