Hot Rods Cigar lighter burns

I bet you could sand and polish it mostly out...

 

Same. It would be the last time I did that, but wouldn't be the last time I learned a lesson by being burned.

 

I guess so, I am the one

 

Back in the very early 1950's, I was told more than once that, while driving to Atlantic City on a bleak two-lane blacktop that essentially connects Philly to the shore, I pulled out the lighter & pressed it to my mouth & burned my upper lip. I was probably mimicking my father lighting a cigarette. It was probably in one of my father's Hudsons....no A/C. Needless -to-say, I put a damper on the trip...probably crying all the way to the sea, while my farther fumed. No child seats back then, it was just "come what may"...and it did.

 

Can't say I did that but watched my dumbass older brother burn his finger on the lighter

 

Must have been an (off topic) 67 or 68 Dodge or Plymouth ? ?

 

Probably was a Mopar product, can't remember what it was.

 

The OT plymouths 60 models were famous for that and I drove mom crazy doing that LOL

 

My brother licked the lighter when he was younger. My son burned four rings in my Silverado center console.

 

I was working under the dash of my OT '68 Mustang GT and felt something drop into my free hand. Figured it was a socket that rolled off the dash.... WRONG... I had pushed the lighter in while reaching up on top of the dash and it landed in my cupped hand. I smelled it before I felt it... like the broiler at BK.

I did come out from under the dash quickly. It was a charred 3rd degree burn, somehow healed less the scar.

 

You damn kids, this is why we can't have anything nice.

 

hi, was told u may b interested in a decent pr. of 57-58 fleetside tailights ! Reasonable . thanx,john

 

When I was a kid my folks had a 55 Ford Ranch Wagon. the seats had brand design on them. My little brother used the lighter to add some of his own. That did not go over too well.
