Hello All and Happy Holidays, I am new here i recently aquired a 48 Business cpe that has been in my neighborhood my whole life. the original owner passed on around 1968, I was 14 at the time and thought I was going to buy the car from his sisters. I had everything J. C. Whitney sold for this car picked out. it is a good thing I didn't get the car at that time.
The car sat untouched since 2003 and after getting it running i pulled the engine because a clip came off one of the valve guides and half of it was moving around. A replacement engine is almost together to install until the original engine gets fixed.
My question today is, there was a light mounted on the firewall at one time, it had been removed and was tie-wrapped to something the power wire was still connected to the voltage regulator is this a factory accessory or aftermarket? The car has a trunk light, factory turn signals, side view mirrors, and factory fog or driving lights, and I believe a seat cover from the dealer or factory, no radio.
thanks,
Jay
