Interesting '61 Hawk on ebay

Actually looking at the dash it looks like a clock to me. why you wouldn't pop the extra couple bucks to have both I don't know, but I didn't order the car...

Maybe because it's a clock?

If the clock is where the tach should be, then what's where the clock should be? You can barely see some sort of guage on the right sode of the dash.

My '61 has the 'blank' in the Tach position, and the clock off to the rhs. Easy enough to switch. Probably owner preference (no passengers to tell him the time?) Jeff

I be think'n its a Pretty one. The only thing that takes away from it is the A/c unit. Such a pretty car, I donk know why studebaker could'nt come up with a better looking a/c unit. Its a huge hunking box,yuck. I get docked every time for it now being on my car. Recently I asked Sam to put it back on, I do have it but after seeing one more time: I'm starting to retract my request. The 61 Hawk will always be my favorite car. Its the Lines... Rhonda

Mine too... If you are going to get docked for the a/c unit anyway, why not put a Vintage Air unit hidden underneath there and add their dash with the a/c outlets and be happy...and cool. Jeff

HUH?

That's a clock in the tachometer spot. The clock spot has a blank in it.
