Do You own a car built by Durant? star

Re: accessories

some of these were very interesting. My dad always told me that on his 36 Ford Coupe he had it wired to shock people. He always told me the story of one time letting his car and several others drift together so the bumpers would touch and watching until a fellow lifted his girlfriend on the front fender of the first car to sit. At the special moment when the guy went for a kiss, he zapped them. Talk about sparks flying with that first kiss. He also always told me a story about going to New York City for New Years Eve and the crowd started to rock his car until he hit that little button, the parted the sea for him then. Dad said he used some sort of magneto device wired with a button on his dash. My dad also had a Devils had on his gearshift lever that the eyes would glow red when he went over 50 miles per hour. This was all back in the late 1930's. So when I saw that posting on that site it brought back memories of my dad's stories.
