'64 Chevelle with dash top mounted clock ??

Verne,

By early face design I meant the pre-'65 clock design assembly. The '65+ unit has full numerical face I believe.

I've seen factory tach cars but not with a factory ordered clock also. My parts book lists the standard clock (without tach) but doesn't list the clock assembly with a tach(?). -It should atleast for the corvair. I'll look a bit more.

I think these units were probably gray to fit a range of interior colors if unpainted but also provide a good base color to paint. I believe it would be painted the dash color of the car to blend in since these cars had two-tone interiors.

I'll try to find some 'Vair info on these.

Just following up: Someone finally provided this photo of an original one. I'm changing my view a bit now, that perhaps in production Fisher installed the base on the dash before paint, then the clock head was added on the trim line. IF that was a dealer-installed clock, one would expect it to be either all gray or all dash color (unless at some point, just the head was replaced).

Now that I know what it is.... Mines gray too! I'm missing the bottom.....

Steve, IF your car has a padded dash, the base is two pieces and I believe they should be satin black.

Sorry, no car just a clock! May have to dig it out and take another look..
