Re: IML: clocks in the wheels on '55/'56's

The clock rotates when the wheel is turned, that is how it is wound. 
The steering wheel clock is a rare accessory, and was a high grade 
jeweled movement self winding Benrus.

Hi Jack -

There was a feature in Collectible Automobile about a factory fuel 
injected DeSoto convertible - I think the only one left out of 3, that 
had the clock in the steering wheel.  If I remember correctly, it had 
some kind of mounting that kept the clock face from rotating when the 
wheel was turned - something like the steering wheel hub mounted 
transmission buttons on the '58 Edsel.  The article mentioned it at 
some length and the owner bought a complete restored 2dr hdtp just to 
get the clock!  If I can remember the date of the magazine or find mine 
I'll send the info to you.

Imperialists:

 

    I acquired a Benrus' a while back and FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I cannot 
figure out how to mount it in the wheel center as the normal center 
'power steering' piece does a quarter turn in and out of the holding 
mechanism and there is nothing like that with the piece I own.....maybe 
there is a mounting kit necessary.....
