Thanks to all who replied. Research is the most tedious part of writing, but you guys made this one easy.

Just 60s in general, since in the story it is only known that the vehicle is a 60s Olds station wagon, year uncertain. So it only matters that the info be correct about at least one 60s Olds wagon model. Thanks for all the info and links.

I guess while I’m at it, what was the upholstery of the bench seats in the Olds?

Thanks for the reply, Joe. Do you happen to know (on models where the clock was separated from the tach) where on the dash the clock was normally located—that is, on driver’s side, passenger side, near the middle and the radio? Again, thanks for any and all “authenticity.”

I am writing a piece that is set in the 60s, trying to be historically accurate as possible. Part of the story takes place in a 60s station wagon—Olds or Buick. Did these models have a clock on the console? If so, was there a second hand? If so, did it “sweep,” or did it “click” its way around the dial (by which I mean, was the second hand motion continuous without pause, or did it stop with each tic or toc before moving on)? Odd request I know, but thanks for any help.
