Not much happening on the Studebaker forum, so I thought I'd see if anyone wants to give another look at that dash from the '57 Clipper I found, and give an opinion about its originality. See pic above. The temp gauge strapped to the steering column is obviously not original. I read earlier about a direct-reading gauge that would not have had an electrical hookup, but that was for the oil gauge.

The only way to tell if the oil gauge works would be to start it up. Maybe I'll bring along a battery next spring and giver 'er a try.

(acolds) Hawk wiring harness would create another problem as hawks have a direct reading oil gauge with tubing and hose to connect to engine oil gauge no wire for the electrical gauge used on senior Packards.
