Ford & digital instrument clusters
Anyone know the year when Ford had digital dashes available as an option? They had some for the cars but I have not seen any examples for the trucks? Anyone know?
Thanks much.

I had a digital dash is an 86 tarus LX, had more buttons to push than a typewriter. It would tell you most everything, that is, the times when it actually worked.

I was gonna say the Ford Probe, I think it came out in 88 or 89. Kinda gimmicky but neat as long as it works I guess.

I had a 1981 Lincoln Continental Mark VI with an entirely digital dash. The speedometer had a 1" VFD, the fuel gauge was a bar graph and there was a message center for all the idiot light functions including some I didn't care about. (Windshield Washer Fluid Low for example.) It aslo had a 6 button keypad to display certain functions like trip computer, MPG computer etc... It also had a 302 with CFI, one injector per bank on the throttle body. Pretty advanced stuff for 1981. (Except for the built-in Ford CB radio and the 8-track player.)
