Automotive mountable clock???

Post by Smellslike1974 » Sat Jun 26, 2010 7:27 pm

My dad had his truck bed filled with a bunch of random stuff this morning.He gave me his first toolbox he ever had.Since he last used it(YEARS...)Its been use as storage at HIS dads house.Well I was going through the stuff today and found a bunch of auto goodies,but one thing really interested me.

When I first picked It up I thought It was a tach,then saw 12,3,6,9 and said "Oh hey......Its a clock."
Any ideas on what vehicles back then these were on?Anyone seen these before?And if anyone knows where were they mounted?

I personally think its a nice piece,and I wouldn't mind using It In my car.Id probably end up spinning the clock 180 degrees and mount it upside down underneath my dash.I think on top it would be too tall.

It's a console mounted clock. The Mopar ones were found on 60's A & B bodies, but that one doesn't look Mope-ish.

The Mopars had tachs or clocks behind the shifter area. Don't know the option codes off the top of my skull.

I kept thinking Ive taken a pic of one of those..to myself... a 67 gtx that had a mounted origonal rpm gauge. For some reason you dont see them much so I figured it was rare and took a snap of it.
