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



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.

    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.....
