The clock currently in CSX2171 isn’t from a Ford Galaxie. I’m not sure what it’s from. The face is different as is the bezel. The clock supplied by Ford as used in production Cobras CSX2201+ is similar to the 1962 Ford Galaxie unit but the bezel is chrome in the Cobra but not in the Galaxie as no part of the bezel is exposed in the Galaxie.
It’s was somewhat common to replace the Smiths clock equipped Cobras in the states with something that would fit once the clock ceased to work. Correct Smiths clocks were harder to find here and expensive to order.
