Dixco Can Tac 1958 Pillow

Dixson Incorporated (aka Dixco) was launched in 1958 by Bruce Dixson with a sole focus on making tachometers, an important instrument that was frequently omitted by manufacturers of domestic vehicles in America and one that hot rodders, drag racers, and muscle car tuners wanted. Dixson made a variety of styles of tachs for both interior dash applications and exterior hood mounts, the 'Can Tac' being one of the more popular of the latter. Dixson ended up taking over the operations of General Meters in 1963, a financially failing company that supplied Dixco with the internal movements for their tachometers. In 1987, Dixco sold out to a multinational OEM supplier to a multitude of industries that continued to offer many of the Dixco designs.
