That sort of accessory adds a lot of interest at car shows and such.

kind of interesting that Mr. Ford, who despised cigarette smoking (and kudos to him, he was many generations ahead of his time) sold a cigarette lighter accessory.

I read once that Edsel was the only one smoking cigarettes within the Ford buildings.

I don't see myself as being old, but I do kinda miss the cigarette girls.
And it's OK, you can admit it, some of you out there do too.
Are you old if you remember these girls?

I don't think that is a Ford offered accessory...most likely something Pep Boys or Western Auto would sell.
As stated previously Henry was very smoker unfriendly.

Don't use fuses to find a short. Substitute a light bulb connected by a couple clip leads, then when you fix the short the bulb goes out.
