Speedometer/HUD research and mockup

My character is somewhat of a 1970s punk who drives a 1970 chevelle SS painted Taxi cab yellow. I want their identity to come through somewhat in the HUD without it being too much. Here is some of my research for my HUD.

I like Rockstar's simple and bold approach to the HUD, and aesthetically, it is very similar to the type I want to make, other than mine matching my car's make. Most racing games give you some sort of indication of your speed, but not all will give you numbers to match your speed exactly, and most instances of a tachometer are simply another aesthetic detail on the screen that for all games other than racing Sims, has no need on the HUD for most arcade style games.

Here are a few real world examples of that type of speedometer

This Speedometer is not one from a 1970 Chevelle SS, but I like it for its worn look and checker Cab logo.
