Details
Summary
The C3 kept its big speedometer and tachometer ahead of the driver throughout, while the console, the engine gauges and the radios around them were restyled again and again.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
Tachometers became electronically driven in 1975.
Infotainment
Delco radio options
AM-FM stereo was a new option for 1968; an 8-track player arrived with the 1977 console, a CB radio in 1978 and a cassette player in 1979.
Controls
The ignition switch moved from the dash to the steering column for 1969, and air conditioning became standard in 1980.
Facts
- For 1968 the engine gauges moved from around the steering column to the centre of the dash above the console. They covered oil pressure, coolant temperature, ammeter, fuel and a clock.[1][2]
- Fibre-optic strands on the console showed the driver whether each exterior lamp was working. The feature was dropped after the 1971 model year.[1][2]
- A redesigned console arrived for 1977. It could take any of Delco's universal radios, and its restyled auxiliary gauges swapped the ammeter for a voltmeter. A year later, as part of a new interior and dash, the main speedometer and tachometer were restyled to suit that aircraft-inspired console.[1][3]
- A new federal rule limited speedometers to an 85 mph scale from 1980. In 1981, cars with Delco's new electronically tuned radio got an oil temperature gauge in place of the clock.[1]
