Pre 1967 Westclox 12 Volt Car Clock

[kgm0612]

Attached are photos of a Westclox car clock. It looks like a lot of mid 1960's US clocks. My first guess was American Motors, but it isn't.  I contacted Russell at the Clock ID Web site and he was not able to identify it. I searched the Internet as well, with no luck. It is two and one quarter inches in diameter. The graphics are embossed on the back plate, not the clear plastic lens.  It has hand written on the housing 11  60 , but I'm not sure that is reliable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Early Kaiser-Jeep maybe? In any case, sweet clock!

looks like the 1958-59 maybe  60 Rambler they used Westclock

also check the 1960 Oldsmobile they used Westclock that year also

Fords used Westclox as well.

Very close to this early 60's Studebaker, but no match. Wonder if it is for another model or year with less trim?

This clock is quite a tease. It looks so much like so many different clocks, but not exactly. It looks very similar to the 63 Falcon clock. (Not the dash mounted 64) I wonder if could belong to a 61-63 Mercury Comet or was a clock even offered as an option for them? I can't find any pictures of one.

The Comet as well as Fairlane accessory clocks look very similar but use lines instead of dots between the numbers on the clock face.

Any more ideas about this clock? I'm still really curious as to what it's from.

Here's some additional info I've discovered that applies to the clock:

 

1963 was the first year that Westclox used a black insulating power terminal grommet - before that they were red

1963 and 1964 Westclox used a winder board with a single coil. This one is a single coil.

1965 was when Westclox went to a dual coil winder board and used this configuration thereafter

 

I would therefore assume that this is a 1963 or 1964 clock.
