    Just bought this from rustyironman (thanks Joe), and I would like to find the rest of the gauges to match it. He said it was a 60s era Stewart Warner. I can just barely make out an SW on the back but the rest of the #s are all smeared together. I didn't know if they had a series number back then or a series name kind of like they do today, I dont know. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks fellas

    Edit: Sorry Im doing this at work and picture wouldn't load. Lets try it again.

    Yeah, not as rare as the red "X" speedometers, they bring big bucks.

    The 72 corvair wagon didn't come with factory air, it was a dealer installed option. All the speedos were the same in 72. They changed in 73, with factory air.

    Since it has 6 digits for miles (plus the tenths), I don't think it's likely a "vintage" unit.

    Its only got 5 (plus the tenths). I found some #s on the side. Its either 530CWG9
    or 5300WG9.

    Guessing early to mid 60's and a OEM unit. The indicator lights are the give away for OEM. Possibly an International. They used SW gauges made to there own drawings. Sorry I can't be more specific.

    Edit: No way it is an IHC. No tractor ever aspired to go 120. :eek:

    I believe it may have come from a Jeep. Mid 60's to early 70's???

    A 120mph speedo in a jeep? And I believe the jeeps had a multi gauge speedo.
    Might have to rethink that.

    Looks similar to the style used in the 67-68 Mustangs so it might be closer to that era. Similar in color and center needle trim-garnish. Definitely not a Mustang unit though, as the orientation of the numbers doesn't follow the circumference of the dial.

    Old English motorcycle. does it say made in England any where?
     
  25. Looks 1960's English to me - could the SW actually be a poorly struck "Smiths"?

    Suprised no one has suggested that it's from a Henway - you're slipping guys.

    Stewart Warner made gauges for a lot of oem manufactures including most of the American heavy truck manufactures over the years.
    They also sold a lot of different style gauges over the counter including a couple that were somewhat similar in design to the speedometer in question.

    If my feeble brain is working correctly it looks to be a 1964 and 1965 Studebaker Sedan speedo..
     
  29. Stude for sure... have one like it.
