Thank you Lindsey.

I’ll give that a try.

I’m not real flexible…but I’ll try.

I am hopeful that just driving it will help

lubricate it. It’s amazing how much good

comes from just regularly driving a vehicle.

Someone else will be able to give you more precise pics and info, mine is in cold storage. I would have a look under the dash, not easy to get there. There is a fitting/screw where the cable goes into the speedo. There is a wick in there that needs some light oil on it. Maybe the easy fix. ( how flexible are you? ). I took my seat out to get in there a bit easier? If not, then you are onto lubing the speedo cable itself where others are better to advise. I’m sure you will enjoy driving the dar and welcome to the club.

I am new to this group, Just bought a 1959 300 E (Radiant Red) in very good condition-

it came from Portland Oregon( the car now resides in my garage in Salem Massachusetts). It was owned by a fellow out in Portland for

close to 40 years…his name was Robert Winkler. I was told by the

dealer I bought it from it sat for about 10 years and was not driven.

They worked to get it into pretty good shape. Engine runs and starts well.

When I get over 20 mph there is a whiling noise coming from what I think

may be the speedometer cable. I have only driven the car 4 times (still enter here)

and each time I drive it I think the sound is a bit less. Can anyone tell me how to to lubricate this speedometer cable?

Thanks
