| We saw a Porsche 944 clock in yesterday's Name That Car Clock challenge, and today we're going to dig even deeper into my big collection of automobile timepieces for a really tough one. I love the look of this clock so much that I bought it knowing it didn't work (I bring a 12-volt battery pack to the junkyard when I'm hunting clocks). You decide what year/make/model vehicle gave me this clock, then make the jump to see if your guess was correct. 1965 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 GM clocks of the 1960s used a solenoid-wound spring mechanism that probably didn't last three years in most cars, but the guts are so simple that I should be able to fix it… someday. Did you see the GM-ness of this clock?
