I went on a tour with a friend of mine and his wife and his 1947 clipper. He had his clock converted to a quartz clock. Each day he would disconnect the battery at the end of the day and when we came back in the morning my job was to set the clock. I set the clock by just pushing in a button a motor would rotate the hands around to the correct time. So this is a real big help if you disconnect your battery when you get finished using the car which I think most of us do. And of course the quartz clock is extremely accurate. From what I've read the changing voltages from the 6 volt electrical system is one of the reasons the clocks of that era on all cars were not accurate.
