AChS-1 Board Clock on Dashboard

Last summer I made some pics of my AChS-1V aviation clock that I keep at my country log cabin. As a backdrop I used the dashboard of my 2008 Second Gen Ford Focus II face-lifted (European).

I thought it looked good in that setting. The idea crossed my mind of how interesting it would be to install it in or on the dash kind of permanently.

Turns out I am far from the first who has ever had that idea.

A week back I was watching on Youtube a 1972 Russian film Gonshchiki (Rally Racers) featuring rally driving in the Moskvich 412 one of my favorite cars, like this one (Internet pictures).

Interior

 

Nice interiors! Check out the bordello-red (vinyl -- no animals were harmed etc.) seats and upholstery, nicely combined with the black dashboard & central stack.

And in some of the rally cars shown in the film, they definitely had an early version of AChS-1 installed on the dashboard in the center.

Here is the film but it's in Russian and no English subtitles. Good film.
