Default Re: 1938 Cigar Lighter

Ford had cigar lighters way back after the model A era but the one question I would ask is whether they were automatic or not? Some early ones may not have had that feature yet. The ones that are spring loaded definitely are but I can't tell if those are spring loaded or not.

Dennis Carpenter started his business by casting the plastic knobs for antique cars. He casts those types like original but he might consider casting some that will work with a later type element. Some of the old electrical items like that are getting harder to find in usable condition.
