Both 1955 (6 volt positive ground) and 1956 (12 volt
negative ground) T-bird clocks were manufactured exclusively by Motochron and appear identical in cosmetic appearance. These clocks can be serviced or converted to a quartz movement. Cosmetic restoration is also available. |

This clock is the same as was used in the full-size '56
Ford car. Most were produced by Borg. Some Westclox clocks produced for the '56 Ford have found their way into the '57 Birds. We can restore either clock movement to original specs (provided the original movement is intact and serviceable), or update your clock a modern quartz movement. Although Borg and Westclox clocks appear similar, most parts are not interchangeable between the two. |

These clocks were mostly manufactured by Borg,
although a few Motochron clocks exist. We can restore your original clock movement to original specs (provided the movement is intact and serviceable), or update it to a modern quartz movement. All three years used the same clock casing with changes only in the coloration of the dial. |

These clocks were supplied by Westclox and utilized an
early ('61-'62) and a later ('62-'63) style clock movement. Although the two versions appear identical on the surface, the two mechanisms are not interchangeable. Since there are variables in the cost to service each, you may need to determine which version you have. A simple method is to check the color of the power terminal insulating grommet on the back of the clock casing. A pink grommet signifies an earlier movement, a black grommet means the later type. |

We still have a limited number of original equipment
'64-'66 NOS "Borg" mechanical clock movements available at a great price! These are new movements which have never been installed in a clock and carry a full 1 year warranty.

Both Borg and General Time/Westclox supplied clocks for
the T-bird during this period. We can restore either clock movement to original specs (provided the movement is intact and serviceable), or update it to a modern quartz movement. We also have a limited number of original equipment NOS "Borg" mechanical clock movements available. Although Borg and GT/Westclox clocks appear similar, most parts are not interchangeable between the two. |
