Chevrolet dealer parts department clock
 

Picked this clock up a while ago and just getting around to checking it out to see what works and what doesn't. Usually there is some kind of manufacturers markings or date code on these but this one doesn't appear to have any.
Was curious if anyone here has ever seen another like it to help identify it.
It is pretty big at around 5 feet wide and has real wood cabinetry not cheap plastic so it was meant to be around for a while. With the graphics and changeable advertising panel on one side I'm assuming it was for a parts department.

Did you buy that from Ron Norman?
I found that exact display hanging in a dealership here in the late 1980's & bought it.
Ron later bought it from me sometime in the late 90's.The far right lightboard had a motion motor in it too for a circular moving background.
I still have the 1971-72 Chevrolet dealers merchandise catalog that I found with it in a desk drawer,that Ron didn't want.

Yes I did. I also noticed the motion motor and was curious what was attached to it.
I purchased a bunch of memorabilia from Ron last year and just getting around to unboxing some of it. Small world. Thanks for responding with some of the history.

I'll see if I can dig up that catalog & post some pics,but it may take awhile as I got a lot going on here.Really nice dealership stuff.

I think I might be able to answer some of my own questions. I remembered having another wood cabinet lighted clock in storage that had a similar clock face graphic.
After digging it out, the resemblance on the graphics and Cabinet construction are very similar. This clock has a decal on it from the Benco Plastics Inc company.
