1966 corvette clock

[Morris R.]

Does anyone know how to read the three numbers in back of the clock what format do they use? Day, month and year? Thank you

Re: 1966 corvette clock

My estimation is that the first two would be the week and the last digit the year. I just looked at one today that was stamped 384 and came out of a 65 built late 1964.

Re: 1966 corvette clock

Interesting, on another corvette forum a well-known expert in these cars says the marking is a Julian date, which of course it can't be in the case of Mike's example above. I had not heard of week and year, but it works for my clock with 024 imprinted, on a Jan 24, 64 car. It could also work as Julian date on my car, but only if the clock was produced on the same day the car was. Highly unlikely.

This is the clock from my December 1966 '67 - I've understood it to be a Julian date - 301st day of 1966 (October 28th, 1966)
