Faria Coral 4" Speedometer (55 MPH) (Pitot)

The Faria Coral 4" Speedometer (55 MPH) (Pitot) is a precision marine and automotive gauge designed for accurate velocity monitoring in performance and restoration builds. Manufactured by Faria Beede Instruments, a trusted name in instrumentation since 1921, this pitot-tube speedometer serves both marine enthusiasts and street rod builders who demand reliable, analog speed readouts without electronic dependency.

The 4-inch gauge face fits standard dash clusters and aftermarket installations where space constraints or traditional aesthetics override digital displays. This speedometer operates via dynamic pressure differential—the pitot-tube design measures ram air pressure as your vehicle accelerates, converting that pressure into proportional needle deflection across the 55 MPH scale. Unlike cable-driven speedometers that suffer from friction losses and wear, or electronic variants prone to sensor drift, the pitot system delivers smooth, lag-free readings.

The sealed instrument housing protects internal movements from moisture and vibration, critical for open-air hot rods, marine craft, and vintage restorations where environmental exposure is unavoidable. Faria's Coral line uses time-proven needle and gauge mechanics that require no calibration once properly installed. Builders favor this gauge for classic muscle cars, custom watercraft, and low-speed street applications where the 55 MPH max range matches realistic operating conditions.
