It does look best that way. Horizontal it is.


Now, about that green cigar lighter. It looks to be an original to me. It has the spiral element inside the cap and a protruding sleeve in the dash it slides over with a contact in its center. It has a pigtail but is not currently wired up, which is fine with me I don't smoke. It and the ash tray look unused and I assume were NOS and replaced at the time of restoration in 1977 as everyone smoked between 1934 and then, right? Even though I will not use it, I am curious how it would have worked. It does not seem to be like the ones I remember and have in my 40's and 50's cars that you push in and it pops out all by itself a minute later when hot and glowing. This one seems to have just one spot it will sit in and not fall off, with no way to push in deeper that I can see/feel.
