953-1957 VW Beetle Dehne Fuel Gauge Ashtray Panel LHD Bezel German Quality
Install the Vintage Speed Dehne Fuel Gauge in your 1953-1957 Volkswagen Beetle with this German quality LHD ashtray panel, the correct left hand drive bezel that mounts the Dehne gauge in the original ashtray location.
The Dehne Fuel Gauge has been around since the 1950s as an accessory for the air-cooled Beetle because most early Beetles were not originally equipped with a visible fuel indicator. Today, running out of fuel is no longer something we want to risk — and Vintage Speed offers a suitable solution with retro look and reliable functionality.
This is the ashtray panel that holds the Dehne Fuel Gauge in your 1953-1957 Beetle, configured for left hand drive Volkswagens. German quality construction provides authentic fit and finish for the period-correct gauge installation.

Because Details Matter: The Dehne Fuel Gauge is one of the most beloved vintage accessories ever fitted to an air-cooled Beetle, and where it mounts matters as much as the gauge itself. The ashtray location is the period-correct home for the Dehne, and the right LHD panel gives the gauge a clean, factory-style mounting point. German quality, correct fit, and the retro look the early Beetle interior was made for.
