Default The Europeans Must have Laughed

I believe the clock in this Firebird should have read 00 and not 24. I bet that Interior Designer got a promotion!

Im a bit slow, and dont follow military time, but it looks ok to me. The outside numbers are good for 1 - 12 (am) then if you really want to the inside numbers pick up from 13 -24 (pm).

It's just not the military that follows the 24 hour time format, in fact most countries do. From Wikipedia
Midnight 00:00 and 24:00
In the 24-hour time notation, the day begins at midnight, 00:00, and the last minute of the day begins at 23:59. Where convenient, the notation 24:00 may also be used to refer to midnight at the end of a given date — that is, 24:00 of one day is the same time as 00:00 of the following day.

The 24-hour clock is commonly used there only in some specialist areas (military, aviation, navigation, tourism, meteorology, astronomy, computing, logistics, emergency services, hospitals), where the ambiguities of the 12-hour notation are deemed too inconvenient, cumbersome, or dangerous.

Correct, 24:00 should have been 00:00.
