I saw a key like that down in Florida at an antique car show several years ago. Didn't know what it was, but guessed it had something to do with the car. Just glad we don't have to get out and light those headlamps any more. Electricity, batteries, and computers sure make a difference. Martha W.

Having to pull off the road in order to light your headlights would not work too well in this day and age!<br />Just last week I saw an antique car of this same era at the grocery store. I don't know what model it was, but I thought it looked kind of odd to see a handicap tag hanging from the rearview mirror! It seemed so out of place! Still, it was very neat to see the car, and if a lady had not have been sitting in it, I might have walked past to take a closer look!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559934405090747046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-31274267097912757182013-05-02T09:45:47.478-04:002013-05-02T09:45:47.478-04:00Wow, that lighting of the gas sounds scary!

You know, if that black box was painted the same color as the car, it would have looked better. And you're right, the goggles fit right in.
