0 to 25 = Green
25 to 50 = Amber
50 to 110 = Red
All the above in the '46 Chrysler Windsor.
(Some claimed that above 110 the radio played, "Nearer My God To Thee"

Sounds like the speedometer on my fintail, which as with all of them is a veritcal stripe like a thermometer rather than a round or horizontal needle.
At low speeds ca. <25mph, it is yellow. From about 25-40 it is yellow-red striped, and from 40+ it is red. It reads to 120, but I think the car is only good for about 110.
