An interesting fact is; The "early" 1972 tricolors still had the transparent plastic molded Inner-Tach-Housing.  which was visible from the outside and noticed as black.


The DIXCO Hustler was delivered like all other hood tachometer models in the display box, packed in a large outer box. The scope of delivery also included a completely new installation booklet and the 3 separate connection cables.
 


 




1973
, the hood tachometer design became minimal changes. The Inner-Tach-Housing was now molded in in white-beige plastic and was very well visible from the outside.

The red DIXCO Hustler Logo was now completely in white.

 



The housing black textured housing was dropped and comes new with a glossy surface. Ready for the own paint job.

Both of the DIXCO Hustlers 1972-1973 were only available for a short time and a very hard to find today.
