Is this the elusive lighter/light

I don't think so, that looks just like the cigar lighter in our '53 Ford, except for the chrome bullet on the knob...

that is a 54 lighter but not the light

With that funny little toe nail over the white plastic I wasn't sure if that was ornamental or if the white part was actually a lens for a light.

The lettering on the bezel illuminates when you put the parking and or head lights on, as do the other dash knobs.

Well it has only taken three years but I have located both the traffic light viewer NOS and the light lighter. . No box but as new. I guess I will have to find another oddity to consume my time searching for.. Actually the rear window stuff, speakers, defroster and wiper show up with a fair regularity, but don't do much good on a drop top

My mom used to hang her purse on the choke knob in my Dad's 36 coupe, it took him awhile to figure out why his gas milage was so poor.

The rear window wiper accessory was first offered on the 1951 models since the back light was finally shaped for one to work properly. I saw parts for one of these on flea pay one time but it likely differed somewhat from the ones offered on the later models. The rear window defog was not offered that early but they did have a similar grill for the accessory rear radio speaker. It may be that they combined the two grills in one on the later cars. They must have had a fan back there to make it work. I don't think they would try to run a hose from the front heater/defroster all the way back there.
