<VV> NOS Clock

[corvairduval at cox.net]

No, that is a Corsa. Spyders have the clock mounted on top of the dash,
just like all early models. That is why they are rare. I have seen one of
the clocks mounted on the dash of a Falcon Ranchero. I doubt it was
procured through Ford parts. ggggg!!!

And my Spyder clock is right twice a day, even without the battery
installed. ggg

Shouldn't the Spyder have a clock in the instrument panel?
Now you'll have TWO clocks that probably don't work, or, tell the wrong 
time...
Clocks in old cars are only good for concoursing, unless you modify them 
with quartz movements if you really want them as timepieces.
