Hi gang, The four needle-type gauges in the '61 & '62 Imperial dash have black backgrounds. In '63 the Imperial used the same gauges and cluster but with a grey background. The '61 & '62 guages and instrument cluster are fully interchangable. Functionally, the '63 gauges will work in the two previous year models. Imperial regards to ll, Jay Mc Kee 1962 Crown Southampton 4-door
