    My dad's friend has a '55 CJ5 just rotting away behind his house with a factory clock about the same height and diameter as the speedo. It is gray in color with a script Willys written in black just below the arms of the clock and is located on the dash pretty much right in front of the passenger. It has the other stuff that early 5's had like the reversed shackles, psuedo battery box, hard top, side mounted spare, but I had never seen, heard, or read about this option. Just wondering if you guys had? I am planning on talking him out of it as soon as fall sets in and the wasps die off. Thanks in advance for any info.:)

    Well, no pics right now, but I will try to get some. It may be a while though. I have never seen a waggy with a clock either, about what year waggy would you say to have a factory clock?

    All the Wagoneers could have a factory clock, but they would not have said Willys. The plate in the dash is rectangular, about 2.5x3.5". All the factory clocks from Wagoneers no longer work (well, maybe not all, but it seems that way).

    Utility Wagon maybe?

    I'm thinking maybe VJ Jeepster? or maybe a Willys car like Aero Sedan or something similar? Wagon is possible too. I "think" it was an option but could be mistaken. Nickmil

    I've got some Willys passenger car parts books
    I'll see if they show anything

    It's junk and you don't need it. Send it to me and I'll properly dispose of it. :D
