And I have VIN 6759, it also had the clock, but this was replaced by me since I have a Sony CD-player which shows the correct time. So I ordered a new gearshifterpanel (w/o the hole for the clock), so now mine is "correct" as per the Parts Manual definition. My best guess is that yes, the clock was destined to disappear at VIN 6158 (because of a new Craig model showing the clock - no need for two digital clocks) However - if you had a parts bin full of clocks and gearshifterpanels, it is reasonable to think that they used up some of these just to keep costs down. At least thats what I think :) Best wishes Stian Birkeland Norway VIN # 6759 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxx> wrote: > --- Jan van de Wouw <jvdwouw@xxxx> wrote: > > According to my Parts Manual the Clock was featured > > UP TO VIN 6158. > - - - - - - - - - - - - > My first DeLorean was VIN 6350 (a so-called "late > 81").
