Picked this up this past week a the Hershey swap meet. Other then this beeing totaly bitchin I know nothing about it so any info or other pictures would be great. The back side is stamped Stewart Warner and has a few other markings. Gauge measures 6 1/2 accross and has a 1/2 curve in the glass. Here are some pictures:
The instant I saw it, Stewart Warner pop'd in my head. No idea what its for. Am assuming its mechanical. COOL piece!!!!
I pulled a few of those out of an old junkyard awhile back, they were all marked hupmobile. Tossed one in a model t/a speedster with a 4.11 geared rear end and 600-17 tires and the damn thing reads within a couple mph of correct, and a stock ford cable screws right in.
Clark That speedo and quad gauge would be tits in a ford like say my '38. I'll bet that they are SW gauges. On the OPs speedo I would like to know what the stamped wording is, it is a little scratched up in the pic to read all that I can make out is the made in USA.
I have that same speedo as well. Found it on that auction site about 3 years ago for cheap and snagged it up. Never found out what it came out of.
Great thing about traditional hot rods, you don't need to know what a cool part came from in order to use it. Probably many of us have an unidentified cool part or two on our cars.
Here's one on ebay that sold for $200, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-6-S...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
I'm pretty sure they are aftermarket. Mine is Marked for 1935. The Dodge is pretty much the same gauge but has Dodge at the bottom. I have one of those too. Clark
What makes me think aftermarket, or non stock car, is the one shown has an odometer, but no trip meter. Many/most factory cars have both.
