    This photo came up on another thread which leads to a question I’ve no answer to.
    I seen this “style” cap only once that was turned into a clock. At that time the clock did not say Chevrolet but looked very much like these. What model Chevy is it from? Is it a dog dish as photo seems to indicate? 9A018FC5-2336-4997-A24A-301D7C2AEBC4.png

    Thanks, I guess no one in So Cal is sporting them on their 61 62’s to see. I was told by the seller of the clock that he believed they were a nock off replacement but no idea for what vehicle.

    Google 62 Bel Air hardtop, the resto guys love them. And, yes, somebody is reproducing them.
     
  5. I have one of those that I am turning into a clock when I get around to it. Identical.
    Mine I am sure is a repop, it says Taiwan on the back. LOL

    A surveyor friend found it in the road ditch.

    I looked up the cap (car) right after you posted your reply.

    I forgot to mention that the cap/clock did not say Chevrolet on it. Like it was a JC Whitney replacement from back in the day.
     
  8. I'm too slow......my g/f had them on her '61 Bel Air
     
  9. I got an idea that mine was made this century. Hubcaps make good clocks.
    I got a moon disc that the same guy found in a road ditch, I know that it is a repop of some sort. its huge, like for Dubs. A little herder to find clock works for because the hands have to be so long.

    You’ll find the high torque movement here that you need for longer hands. And the hands too.

    I’m in the process of building a clock and just ordered the high torque movement and hands from this place.

  12. Cool man thanks for the link.

    I hope this does not keep me from working on that old truck in my yard. The man would probably like to get it back. :eek::D
