This was sold as an accessory for many different cars through the years. I had a light like this one on my 1965 Pontiac Bonneville which I bought new, but I don't know if it looked exactly the same. I also had one on my 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk. Again, I'm not sure it was exactly like this one. The only thing different is probably the mounting bracket which would probably still work on most cars of the era. The lamp and cord mechanism would probably be the same for all cars. They looked and worked the same on the two cars I owned.

This operates on some kind of mercury switch that turns the light on when the trunk is open. The cord will extend quite a ways out, I believe it went to about 20 feet on my Pontiac. The cord unwinds and rewinds easily but I didn't wind it all the way out to measure how far it extends.

 The Studebaker Body Parts book lists this under AC-30 as part # AC-2767 Trunk and Utility Light Equipment (consists of lamp complete with cord and reel bracket, grommet, cables, clips and connectors). The book also shows
  • 1312907 Trunk and Utility Light Equipment (standard equipment on Y, special order on other models) All 56-57.
  • 1323697 Trunk and Utility Light Equipment (standard equipment on Y-J6-J8-K7-K9, special order on other models) All 58.
Whatever is in the photo is all I have. The power cord looks like it has been cut and would require adding on additional wire. I don't have any other cables, clips, instructions, or box.

In addition to being one of the largest automotive markets in the country, Texas is also Truck Country. So when members the Texas Auto Writers Association talk about the trucks they like, we tend to listen -- as do automakers. This year, following what we can only imagine was an extra-dusty, extra-gritty Truck Rodeo, TAWA has chosen a new Truck of Texas: The 2014 Ram 1500 pickup.

The Skoda Fabia vRS Mean Advert We like what Skoda has on offer with the Fabia vRS. In fact, we like much of what Skoda does. They take very competent and able VW cars and give them real character.
