Someone will tell you how to lube the cable but until they do, I'd suggest unscrewing the cable from the back of the speedometer. My 54 did exactly the same thing and I did nothing about it. Within a couple miles, it swung wildly and the the needle popped off. :(

Last night I took my black '55 Imperial out for a drive. The speedometer
started fluctuating wildily and a bad noise accompanied it. It sounds like
the speedo cable is dry and need lubrication. Excuse my lack of mechanical
expertise, but, how does one lubricate a speedometer cable and what type
lubrication is recomended ?
Thanks,
