WTB 2 cigarette lighters for a 1940 Series 90

[Barry M Wheeler #2189]

A couple of posts from yesterday, I mentioned that I had a brochure for the 1940 Fleetwood 60S/72/and 75s. Sorry to have forgotten to mention it again. Also, I HOPE that the picture of the dash purportedly from the "custom" 1940 60S was from a 1946/47 Cadillac and included in error.  (I was just browsing eBay in the 1939 brochures, and it appears that the lighter is like the 1940 one I showed.) I also punched in 1938 Cadillac 90, and found some dealer promos which included a 1939 running V-16 conv sedan. Guess what color the cigarette lighter is??? Brown! I will admit that there was also a 1939 V-16 Sedan which looked as if it had a chromed one. But, as the car was painted fire engine red, I took that one with a grain of salt.  BW

For what it's worth, my '41 60S, which is original, has the brown plastic (bakelite?) knobs on the lighters.  They match the sliding brown plastic ash tray covers.

Berry,

I went back and checked the photos and that interior shot is in the same grouping of photos as I walked around the car.  Ross Morgan was with me at the time and requested the attendant to open up the car which they did.  It was a slow day early in the week so no big deal. 

I figure the head of Cadillac got want he wanted.  I don't know the how long he or the car was there, but it is possible the car was updated while in GM use.  The up/down window control, auto trans are a few things even I notice as out of place, but the car is real and unmolested.   

This might be a cool story some time for the Self Starter.

Berry was correct.

There is an image mixed in with the grouping of individual car shots of 2 cars, that is so close that with my walking around at the time years ago, that it appeared to be part of this photo grouping.

I have sent the original shots to Berry and the image posted has been deleted.

I really try to provide accurate info, but am always able to be wrong.  Thank you Berry.
