Beginners
Early Dash's seem to have been the White Block style speedo (lets call this Style B), mixed with the Early Font clock (Style A)
The 15w DLX (Oct 1951):
The Hornbecker DLX (Feb 52):
Hornbecker's has the Early Font style clock (Style A), so the speedo/clock face styles didn't match until the demise of the split window beetle?
ie until the clock was BD DLX only?
(these are bus build dates, not speedo/clock date stamps)
20-053503 (June 53 - still White Block & Early Font)
20-056313 (July 53 - both White Block)
20-074455 (Feb 54 - Both Modern Font)
OK, so the equipment may have been swapped about - but this looks to be the pattern _________________ -StockRocks- |

I agree with RockStocks chart, My april 1953 has the early split style clock, with a 29 part number and seems to be appropriately date stamped to the car. I think it was a mid year 53 change, when they ran out the old clocks on the shelves. |

Beginner
I have a lame excuse in that the speedo in an early bus is the block type and i thought the clock would be the same
After seeing that one sell at Bad Camberg, i'm just glad i have the right clock for my bus _________________ 64 356 C Coupe |

Chris, you are the font of all (font) knowledge.
I'll check to see if the clocks on the 51 DLX are date stamped when I go to the garage tomorrow.

Gotcha!
Seen better days....& as for clock (54/55, bd dlx only), it's missing its hands & glass. But it works, & should shape up. Dated 6/54, part no. 241 857 251. Cheers _________________ -StockRocks- |

It seems that deluxe owners are far more interested in having every single correct part before they'll even entertain the idea of driving their bus....... _________________
