QOTD: What's Your Favorite In-Car Clock?
Mr. Guy is on some serious design posting lately, and the other day we presented some in-car analog clocks for you.
Personally, I love an in-car analog clock, and I think my favorite might be from late-model Inifinitis. I definitely wish more automakers put clocks like this in cars -- and actual analog clocks, not just digital versions.
What say you? It's your turn, sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The Cartier clocks on 1970's Lincolns/Continentals. Proudly advertised as the only thing you would hear in the interior while driving with the radio (hopefully the top line optional quadraphonic 8-Track) was not on.
Perhaps the most era appropriate was the rotating number clock on the passenger side of the instrument panel on the Cordoba. The clock was part of the initial advertising due to its 'modern' design, being the first auto to have that type of clock.
