I have one like that, definitely not model a ford clock. It's almost twice the size of the original one in my 28.....
I guess if its old it fits an A or a T! Lmao

No guam, I think that if you buy it they will give you $5.00.

I think those clocks are cool, but being cheap, I just give my cell phone a tap and up comes the time.

not doing pocket watches anymore, too many people wanting a whole bunch of something for nothing.

There's a place in Cleveland OH. [B]IF they want to repair. No poor quality. Repairs start at $225

Thanks Jack. It's hard to find someone you can trust with a family heirloom.

So educate me a little, what is a header clock? My car has a clock in the rear view mirror that hasn't worked in over 50 years but I hate to mess with it and I'm not really worried about it working anyways but why is it called a header clock?


Thanks,

Thanks,
A clock that's designed to fit in or on the header above the windshield.
