Yeah, that was in the heyday of "idiot lights," which were gradually replacing what HAD been real gauges on most all cars--General Motors seemed to really push 'em.
Kinda like all those darned LEDs that all kinds of appliances seem to bristle with these days.
Chrysler cars still used gauges then, in the early 60's, but even they went to idiot lights eventually. Nice to see some gauges beginning to make a comeback.... but I always did get a kick out of that "COLD" light. (The "HOT" light next to it was red, of course....:p)
