I think it's much older than anything already suggested. Best guess is British, circa 1950. Rover P4?

Very, very early ones didn't, hence the suggestion:



The first cars had a square clock above a square temperature gauge. It's only an idea, though smile.

Water gauge is same as those used on an Austin A40 Somerset and probably loads of other cars of that era.

Oh ok, I stand corrected, it could well be a p4 then, I just thought the rust looked a bit Italian!

The very early ones- Cyclops- didnt. I think the early P4 call is a good one.
