I'm just full of questions today.
My late great uncle bought this car near Langley Air Force Base in 66.
I rebuilt the car leaving it as I found it, only less tatty.
At the TRF Summer party, I was accosted by some snotty folks talking
down about how non-orignal and non-stock my car was.
It has a locking steering wheel column and a Becker AM radio(installed
in a black vinyl covered mount). There is an ugly cigarette lighter on
the fascia panel where the ignition switch is suppossed to be. The
ignition switch is on the column, under the dash and has german words
on it (fahrt, halt, etc., The fifth grade bathroom talk part of me
likes the fahrt one, I just don't know what it means)
A neat older gent, thought maybe a serviceman brought the "beastie"
(thats what he called it) back from Germany. Cars needed to have
locking steering wheels to be acceptable for import there. I like the
locking column, with the exception of the cigarette lighter (the knob
just doesn't match the others).
Any one know of an available ingition switch housing?
