The Enthusiast, September 1956
Announcing the 1957 models
"The mileage odometer on the 1957 Model 165 has black numbers on a white background for better visibility. The odometer "tenths figure" is white on a black background. The speedometer pointer is red as formerly, but is slimmer."
This example comes from the 67009-57 Speedometer Drive Kit - which included all the parts needed to add a speedometer to the 1957 - 1959 Hummer.

However, it is believed that early 1957 Hummers equipped with the accessory kit would have the 67000-51B speedo (to deplete stock). The 1957 Parts Catalog lists the -51B speedo for 57, and the inside rear cover shows the 67009-57 accessory kit with the -51B speedo in the picture.

Perhaps the early 67009-57 kits had the -51B speedo, or maybe the -57 kits (with the -51C speedo) were not available until later in the year.

"Fits earlier models", is not necessarily correct for earlier models.
