Name That Car Clock: Black Analog Quartz
Yesterday on Name That Car Clock, we went to Germany for a subdued ’84 VW Golf timepiece. Today, we’re going… well, that’s for you to decide. Guess the year/make/model of this clock, than make the jump to see if you guessed correctly.
1988 Lincoln Town Car
Yes, the obvious Ford part number on the face was a giveaway; I made it a bit more difficult by blacking out the Ford logo to the right of the part number. You can see that Ford was using better-quality but less-glitzy clocks in Lincolns by the late 1980s. What car did you think this clock came from?

What I'd like to know is how that clock compares to the 2012 Buick Verano. The link doesn't seem to be working properly. There's no mention of clocks or even the 1988 Town Car on the linked page.
I knew it was from a Ford because of their part number nomenclature... or what I remember of it. "E8" indicates the part is for a 1988 model year vehicle. At one time I could tell you what the rest meant, but that was many moons ago.
