Sneak peek at the 29 DC phaeton

[Craig Castillo]

Richard, sounds like you had your own chase going on to get this car.

Very glad you ended up with it and it is being lovingly restored.

Just beautiful.

Zeus is so excited about the car!! Lolo

[Richard LeRoy]

Unfortunately, there is no clock behind that face. I am unable to find an original 29 clock. I have found out that 29 has a very special design. OF COURSE!!! lolo

[Craig Castillo]

The dash looks great.

I always liked the way the speedometer bezel matched the radiator shell on the ’29 dash.

[Richard LeRoy]

Me too. I love your eye for the details.

Richard,

Here is your clock. Just change the face.

Richard, this speedo doesn’t fit your car, it is for a 30 model A or B. Just like the other clock you found on e-bay last year it is about 15% larger and won’t go in the bezel of a 133 model 125. Karl

[Bill Lyons]

I was wondering if the internals might fit into the case Richard has.

[Karl Krouch]

Richard needs a clock, this e-bay item is a speedo. Karl

[Bill Lyons]

mea culpa, I didn’t have my brain in gear. I use to have a 6 speed and now it feels like a power glide.

That is even easier. There are all sorts of clock movements that you could go to. My father-in-law was a watchmaker for Westclox and he had all sorts of movement he put into older clocks.

[Richard LeRoy]

Thanks Karl. Also thanks to all for trying to find this ghost of a piece. 😁😁
