>>>LOL, was that only from Model A’s? Could have been, don’t know if it will work with newer headlights.<<<

Yep, it will still work with any of them...

You bring back fond memories - My choices for my first vehicle was between a Model A and a 1947 Jeep. Father clinched the decision when he told me that if I got the Model A, I could not count on him coming to the rescue if I broke down. (I know he would have, but it told me his choice)

Have had a Jeep affair ever since - Today, we even have his and hers Jeeps as our vehicles - Of course the Mrs. has a ‘sissy’ Liberty but I have my TJ...

And here I thought you were an old rooster!! If I had the choice of a 1947 Jeep as a first vehicle, I would be opting for a brand, new vehicle. You’re just a spring chicken!!

I don’t feel quite so bad now when I read about all you accomplish in a day, when I get exhausted just thinking about it.

LOL, we had one until 1969, used it for a dune buggy and to teach the kids to drive in the desert.

About 67, we had taken an India/San Diego couple out on a tour of the desert and ran out of gas.

The men hiked several miles to get gas and the day wore out, so Pat and I decided we should build a fire, so they could find us.

There are no trees in that area of the desert, west of El Centro, so we lit bushes and got 3 or 4 to burn.

The night wore on and at last they were back, mad as a wet dog, for they had gone on past us, thinking so many lights were campers and they kept walking.

Finally they gave up and started back tracking to see if they could find us.
