Wanted (NOW FOUND): 1941 Buick Clock

[Grant Z]

Wanted (NOW FOUND😞 1941 Buick clock in restored or able-to-be restored condition.

As you can see the hands on my clock are incorrect plus there is a second hand, so I assume the clock has been replaced (it’s battery operated).

Hi Grant:

 

These come up fairly often on Ebay in varying conditions.  I don't know whether Ebay sellers will ship to Australia, but if you're patient, you will eventually find a decent one.  The hardest thing to find is the ivory-colored plastic face in good condition.  Most clocks have a cracked or misshapened face, like the one in your car.

 

Here's an example to get you started (but not a particularly good one).

I would try to get the correct wiring harness when you locate the clock. The light for the glove box is controlled by a small device that makes contact when the glove box door is opened. I have seen many of these clocks where this part is missing. 

 

I forgot to mention that there were two manufacturers of these clocks. Both look identical on the face and function the same, but the lighting of the glove box is a little different. I believe that the George Borg is more popular, but Jaeger also makes an appropriate clock.

Many thanks for your responses. I have now located a clock from someone in Santa Barbara who is about to send it to me.
