If your car is a 1952 or 1953 model then you should have a water temperature and oil pressure combination gauge. The earlier models were not provided with a water temperature gauge as standard equipment. Your options at the time were to install a Motometer, which was a type of thermometer in the radiator cap, or to install a separate water temperature gauge somewhere on the dash in a new hole. The factory did provide a separate water temperature gauge as an optional accessory at the time.
