'35 cigar lighter short/falure?

I would put in an in-line buss type fuse on it. I'm not sure if they came with them or not originally. I had something similar happen to my engine compartment light accessory years ago. I bought some older type inline ones on e-bay that look period correct. Looking at your car I think you'd probably appreciate that level of detail. Oh, and by the way I hope you carry a some type of extinguisher, but on a nice car like your's a Halotron type is best as they are designed for A,B and C type of fires but are also designed for an easier cleanup as opposed to the regular extinguishers.
