This quote below, from another recent topic, REALLY might be a eureka moment for me....

Yes. And, if I recall, w/o a console it was floor mounted in about the same spot. If a 8-track was ordered you could not get a clock because they would occupy the same area.
I have a pair of abandoned/taped off wires that I found under my carpet laying right on the hump where the front a console would likely be located. My car is completely a non-original, non-numbers matching, modified machine...it has been restored at least twice, originally born as a 350 convertible, and now essentially converted to a 400 clone. My only clue as to what it used to be is my PHS documentation.
According to my PHS documentation, my 350 Convertible car was originally equipped with an electric CLOCK, but NOT a console. This has always baffled me because I have no idea where my clock would have been when the car was built, there is no indication that it would fit somewhere on my dash, and I have no idea if my dash is original or not. I never even considered that a clock might have just been perched on the floor/driveshaft hump!
Does anyone have a photo of what this might have looked like? Or does anyone have a current hump-mounted clock as described above, to confirm this is indeed how my car may have been equipped at one time? I would love to see this setup on someone's car. Are the any known sources for a replacement non-console clock?
Or is this all just urban legend?
Just curious...my car will NEVER be original, but this little option intrigues me...where WAS my clock? As do the mystery wires I have laying on my driveshaft hump.
