Oh this is fun!  A riddle.  I love riddles!

I answer "yes".

(Is that the correct answer?)

POI (point of information) for the net... At least some cars
that were manufactured in the 1950s had oil pressure gauges.
I remember that the car my parents had (a 1953 Chrysler New
Yorker) did.

That was BEFORE automotive engineers determined we were idiots.
Once they determined we were idiots, THEN they gave us the
idiot light and chose not to give us any real or useful
information anymore.  At that point, some people started
enjoying being idiots.  Those that didn't enjoy that sort of
thing simply got used to it, and to this day, we still have
the idiot light.

I think I'm starting to get the picture even though my idiot
light is burned out!

I say that I really enjoy riddles!

I'll keep trying to find the correct table.  Thank you for the
pointer!
