Avanti Tach!!

[mfg]

A .....?..... tachometer was/is mounted onto the steering column of the #9 'Bonneville' Studebaker Avanti.

1) Sun.....2) Stewart Warner.....3) Dixco....or.....4) Motorola

Since Sun was the go to tach during that era, I posit #1 - Sun.

Even though Sun was a big name way back then I think it was a  Stewart-Warner unit so #2 is my guess.

Yes, DIXCO it is!.....I notice that the water temperature gauge isn't standard Studebaker Avanti issue....Wonder why the Granatellis would change that?...accuracy??

18,029 miles on that baby....and an early prototype R3 tach without the 'production' hand set pointer.
