I would like to install a period correct clock in my '15 T. Is there such a thing as a proper location?
Thanks for your consideration.

Mike some were mounted over by the passenger side on open cars, primarily black era, where as on some brass era, they were mounted over closer to the steering column. On enclosed cars, the smaller ones were mounted up high on the header panel above the windshield. I really believe a lot has to do with personal preference.

Hope this Helps,

Hank

Examples appreciated!
Thanks!

Picture of a 15 location

That's where the speedometer head mounts - he was asking about an accessory clock.

I have a clock in the '14, I'll try and get a photo later.

Sorry about that

There is no specific location for a clock... since '15 was the first year Speedometers were an accessory, it COULD go where the speedometer is. But being an accessory, any location is fair game.

I've also seen some double mounts (on other and earlier cars) where the speedo and a Clock were one over the other... Also, I've seen stuff hung from that small cross brace below the windshield, so if you can find a mount that will fit...

Essentially, the sky's the limit.

Accessories for the T are really great and a period correct clock would be a great addition but for me personally when I’m on my bike or in my T I don’t care what time it is and really don’t want to know.

In 1912 there is a letter to ford dealers which states the only options allow by ford were tool box clock and robe rail ,It would be nice to have those accessories

The right side would make it visible to the driver or we had a 15 way back that had an accessory dash board.

Thanks for the pictures! Speedometer pictures included as that is also being installed.
I kinda figured it was up to personal preference. A period photo would be really cool. Just fishing .
Thanks again for your consideration!

Here's where ours is mounted in the '14 Touring.

Thanks so much for the pictures Steve. I've always appreciated your posts on the site! It would be nice to see a picture of
one on a car from that era. Still .
