If you’re into classic Lincolns, you know the 1961-63 models are something special. They’ve got that big, bold presence and a touch of luxury that turns heads. Now, if you’re looking to upgrade your ride’s instrumentation, check out this Dakota Digital VHX system. It’s a direct fit for your Lincoln, but just a heads up—you’ll need to do a bit of modifying to the stock instrument cluster to make it work.

This system really fills out those three rectangular gauge bezels with six analog needles and dual LCD message centers. You can pick between a sleek Black or Silver Alloy face, which adds a nice touch to your dash. The fully lit needles and backlit faces make everything pop, and the LCD message centers are super easy to read, even in bright sunlight.

What really sets this system apart, though, are the features you might not expect. We’re talking about micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that give you accuracy you can trust. Plus, the display feedback is customizable, so you can tweak it to your liking. And don’t sweat the warranty—this thing comes with a limited lifetime warranty, which is pretty much the gold standard for Dakota Digital.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Here’s what you can expect:

• Speedometer: 0 - 120 MPH (there's a metric option too, going up to 195 km/h)
• Tachometer: 0 - 8,000 RPM
• Oil Pressure: 0 - 80 psi
• Water Temperature: 100 - 260°F (metric version available, 40 - 120°C)
• Fuel Level: E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F
• Voltmeter: 9 - 17 VDC

But that’s not all. You also get:

• Odometer that you can set once, and it’ll track a million miles
• Dual trip meters (A/B) that go up to 9,999.9
• A handy 12-hour clock

For those who love performance metrics, this system has you covered:

• 0-60 MPH timer
• 1/4 and 1/8 mile times
• Trap speed for 1/4 and 1/8 miles
• High speed and high RPM recall

And let’s not forget the indicators. You’ll get:

• Turn signals, high beam, check engine, parking brake, cruise control, and more
• Two auxiliary input indicators that you can label yourself
• Each analog gauge has a red LED for quick warning notifications (except the speedometer)

Worried about how it looks? You’ve got over 30 colors to choose from for the needle, sweep, and digital display. You can even control the brightness for day and night through the setup menu. If you want to take it up a notch, you can add a rotary control for on-the-fly adjustments.

And if you’re into customization, there are 12 factory preset themes, or you can go wild and set all the colors yourself. Full LED backlighting gives you a sharp contrast that’s easy to read, day or night.

Just remember, this system is specifically made for the Lincoln Continental models from 1961 to 1963. If you’re ready to take your classic Lincoln to the next level, this VHX system is a solid choice. Just be prepared for a bit of installation work—check out the manual for all the details.
