1938 Plymouth Clock

[kgm0612]

Attached is a photo of what appears to be a 1938 Plymouth clock. The graphics are exactly the same as the speedometer and gauges for the same year vehicle. I would like to confirm this by documentation or photo of the clock installed in a 38 Plymouth. It does appear in the "Identifying Instrument Cluster" website, with a ? after glove box. I have not been successful in any of my other internet searches.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

is this the clock that just sold on ebay?  If not this is the second I have seen in 2 weeks.  Supposed to mount in the glove box door, but I not seen an installation.

No. I did purchase that one though. This is a different one I already had.

There was a similar clock listed for sale here last year. We went round and round but could not confirm it was for the glove box of a 1938 Plymouth. Face certainly looks correct but if it were for the glove box, this would involve more than just a hole for the clock. They would have had to offer a completely different design of nickel plated trim to accomodate this clock (as the tri-bar trim runs horizontally through the center of the door) which seems like a fairly large expense for a Plymouth. To date, no one has found any literatue or images showing Plymouth offered a glovebox door clock, but they did offer a rear view mirror clock. Good luck with your search.

Here is another possibilty; perhaps these clocks were offered for the 7 passenger limousine. Only 75 were built and the clock could have been placed in the front or rear compartment. Of course this is only a guess on my part. I have never seen one of the limousines in person but maybe if someone here has, they could chime in.
