Are these Studebaker gauges?

There is a 32 Ford coupe on BarnFinds that has this dash in it. Are these Studebaker gauges or just similar?

They appear to be 1947 Champion gauges.

These appear identical to my '47 Champion, although I have replaced the centre one with a clock. '48 and '49 Champion look the same, but may not interchange due to different mounting tabs.

That was about the year I thought, but I wasn't sure. It was common years ago to see gauges swapped into hot rods from later cars. I remember some hat I really liked in their new location.

They are '47-'49 Champion, I wonder if it matters?

[jclary]

Hmnn...Jus wondering...looks like they might have transferred the floor that had rusted away in the old Studebaker too!

Now they have to put a 289 in it. The OTHER one!

That speedometer seems to have turn signal indicators in it. Did Studebaker have those in '47-8-9. I know nothing of those years.

Yes they did, but turn signals were an option.

Thanks Craig. Since I've learned something this early in the day, I can rest the rest of the day.

47 champion had gold centers, 49 had silver centers, not sure about 48

Studebaker used an interesting Clock filler in the instrument panel in 1947.

To the right is a multi-engine airplane, perhaps like the B17's that they made the engines for in WWII, and near the bottom center what appears to be a open cockpit race car, perhaps in reference to the ones that Studebaker ran at Indianapolis in the 1930's. Nice work that is often overlooked.

It is probably a reference to an older slogan.

That's the slogan some of our local restaurants use to advertise their Breakfast Menu!!!
