Can someone please advise on the correct style of dash clock that would have come with the car originally? Naturally, pics would be most helpful.

Here is clock in my 63 356B? Cant tell you if they were same for both years but here it is:

 

Thank you. 12v or 6v?



Andreas

 

I have the same clock in my 356C 1965 6Volt

 

6 volt

 

I think v v. 12 v. 6 v. depends upon how the car was equipped. I'd call North Hollywood Speedometers for more info, and purchase or rebuild, great vendor.

 

I have the same clock also in my 1964C. It's a 6 volt. I believe Palo Alto or North Hollywood make a quartz conversion clock if your's is too shot. I've used North Hollywood many times and have always been pleased with their service and workmanship.

 

Mine works and I'm in love with the patina (aka pitting of chrome ring and fogging of clear plastic) ha ha

 

Wish my car had a clock. Not that I would use it but I like the look of more gauges. My other 356's had clocks in the middle above ash tray.

 

Thank you for all of your responses.



Andreas

 

the clock should work if the car is 6 or 12 volts. If you find one, and need it fixed, Palo Alto Speedo does fantastic work

 

Was there a transition from 6v to 12v during 1963 or 1964? I've found a few that claim to be from the same year yet have different voltage.



Andreas

 

You could order 6 or 12 volt system..... Same with VW back then
I have a European delivered 1965 with 6 volts!
Thats my 356 standard factory delivery

 

I was able to find and purchase a 12v version in very nice condition - only mild patina on the chrome ring and slight hazing on the lens.

I've had it hooked up to power for a day and it seems to work correctly. On the other hand, the bulb is burned out and I can't make out the writing on it. Can someone point me in the right direction to purchase a replacement bulb?
