'59-'60 Impala Speedometer Lens Question

I posted this over at Chevytalk and got no answer, lol.

On a '59-'60 Speedometer Lens, can the Center Bullet be taken out? Or is it permanently in there?

Thanks

I don't know for certain, however, most times those type of "ornaments" are held on by small screws from the back. If you go to the trouble to remove the lens, if the bullet cannot be removed, find a friend with an ultrasonic cleaner, and a few minutes in the water, it will come out clean. To polish small dash lenses, I use Meguiar's Cleaner Wax and Polish in the maroon bottle. Just be careful not to drop the bottle, because the plastic is brittle, and they break easily. I buy it at Wally World. and immediately transfer the contents into a Heinz Ketchup bottle that I have previously washed with hot water. Those bottles don't fail like the Meguires bottles.
