Hard to say..looks kinda like an NPI clock made out of wood, but glass and face are a lot different.def a later movement.never seen one either.not always easy to tell,even if you are holding it.
Looking for gas,oil related clocks,especially neon and spinners .clock repair available. Mick

This is a "retro" MOPAR Parts and Accessories clock made available by Chrysler Corporation to its dealership parts departments. This was done approximately 10 to 15 years ago. It is kind of a knock-off of the original, all-metal can, NPI design from the 1930's and 1940's. These were distributed during a time after Chrysler had gone through a lot of financial trouble, and they were trying many techniques to pump the brand back up by recalling for consumers some things from the company's more glorius, past days.
I have seen this clock behind the part counter in several Chrysler, Dodge (and Plymouth) dealers in the past. When these display clocks were first supplied to the dealerships by Chrysler corporate, they could also be ordered by walk-in consumers, if the parts manager "liked" or knew you. However, within a short time, they were no longer available. I tried to order one about a year after our local Chrysler dealerhip parts department got their display model, and it was already out of the dealer sales aid catalog the parts department guy had.
I kept reminding the local dealer parts manager I was interested in buying the clock just about every time I dropped by. Of course, it eventually disappeared from the parts department wall...and no one knew what became of it. Truth be told, I'm sure the now-retired parts manager grabbed it, since he has quite a collection of MOPAR dealer memorabilia. John

Compare the wages some are making now w/ what I was making when I started & you'll understand why I don't have a larger collection.
