I was riding along in my 54 Olds when the speedometer started making a squeaky noise & quit!! It started all of a sudden, then the speed indicator started shimmering. After a few miles the noise stopped and I thought, "thats a good sign", however upon looking at the speedometer again I noticed it had stopped completely.
Is this a situation where I have to completely replace the cable to the transmission, check where the cable connects to the speedometer or replace the speedometer all together?
Thanks for any help.

You have twisted the cable and it has broken. [ussally lack of grease] remove the cable from under the dash & on the trans. then pull the cable out of the housing. [both ends] Get a new made up from these pieces and re-install with lots of grease.
It sounds to me like the cable broke. Its an easy fix. You can get a universal speedo drive cable (its just the inside of the cable) and cut it to length.
