Default 1953 Vicky Interior lighting ??

I just bought this really nice 53 Vicky that has been through a frame off restoration. The interior is not done.

I do know that there are 2 interior lights on the C pillars. Is there a dome light in the center or any maps lights or ?? They are all controlled from one switch on the dash ??

Thanks for the help,

Doug

Do not know if I'm remembering correctly but thought there was a lamp under the center of dash that had a toggle combined with it. Might be getting it mixed up with a convertible. Don't have a owners manual to look at but it should be in one.

No dome light in the center. The interior lights are controlled by the door switches and a courtesy light switch on the dash. I also think there are two under dash lights. One at each corner of the dash

My 54 Victoria has only one under dash light. Oddly enough, my 64 Fairlane has the same under dash light. The above are correct on no dome light

Nice looking car. My 53 Vicky has what pretty much everyone has already said. 2 lights in the C pillars and one under the dash controlled by door switches and an interior light switch on the dash.
