Fun clock but do yourself a favor. Take it out to a real clock shop and have them put a decent set of works in it. Costs about $30 but it's worth it to have a clock which actually keeps time. I've owned 10 or 15 of the Snap-on clocks and the works always fail after about a year or so.

Neat clock though.

Notice the position of the hands? The center cheap plastic bushing fails and the hands bind.

Been thinking about it for the past few years Chad, but if the old wagon breaks down I wouldn't have anywhere to sleep when I go to Toronto to drive for 10 days in September. As for the clock, I'm giving it to my buddy who is the mechanic at the Limo company to hang in his office. He drives a yellow '72 250C.
