Don't forget about detergent oil as well;)
 
You know when we were younger driving these cars it wasn't as hard, but now with our bad backs, knees, necks, eyes, etc using some of the modern conveniences is necessary so we can continue to enjoy them - don't you agree?
 
This thread started me thinking about a camera. Due to a industrial accident 19 years ago I have lost most of my vision in my right eye. I have been able to keep my CDL but have to have yearly eye exams. DMV requires that I only drive vehicles with both outside mirrors. Modern vehicles are no problem of course as all come equiped that way anymore, but even the mirrors that can be installed on the right side of our antique vehicles are so small that you don't have a really good view of that lane. A small camera would be inconspicious & a great safety addition. After all I don't want to cause anybody any accidents,get anybody injured/ killed, or wreck my old cars. Bill
 
you should see me trying to back up or change lanes in my chopped and channeled '30 coupe with no side mirrors. It does have an inside rear view mirror, but major blind spots. plan on getting at least one for the next driving season. our driving season is almost over up here.
 
I'm using an 84 F150 trans and it has a backup light sw built in, works great. However I think I will add an over ride sw so I can use it anytime I might need it.
 
Sony makes a radio with a 5 or 6 inch diagonal touchscreen that can operate as a display for an optional backup camera. We put one on the 39 because of the poor rearward visibility. The camera is perhaps 5/8" dia and is mounted in the bumper guard. For the radio, I cant stand modern radios in an old car so we installed the radio in an aftermarket heater under the dash....open the heater doors and there is the display. Since we don't listen to radio in the 39, the backup camera stays on all the time......great for backing up, viewing idiots tailgating you, etc.
