Tell me what car this clock came out of.

  1. I bought this at the Portland swap meet and thought it was pretty cool. Its electric but I don't know what car it came out of nor did the previous owner. I call it my Zakk Wylde Bullseye clock. Anyone know? I was told by someone that they thought it was from the 40s and came from a Pontiac.

    Almost looks like old Plymouth, but I can't be for sure. Should say the name of the Company who made the clock somewhere on the back of the housing. That would be a big pointer in the right direction.

    You are getting sleepy!!!!!! LOL!!
    For some reason my camera made it turn a blueish tint. It's not. Its white with red tips on the hands.
     
  7. Wow, thats close!!! I think mine might be just a few years newer.

    It looks the same on the exception of the extra chrome on your picture and mine has the fast/slow that looks like the second hand but is just for speed and one more ring .
    Thanks!!! We are close!!
