  1. I have a 2006 Chrysler 5.7 Hemi, which has HID headlights. When I first got it 19 years ago, I use to get flashed by the oncoming traffic. Now that people are use to HID lights, I rarely get flashed. Also when a car with these lights goes over a speed hump, it appears that the driver has flashed his lights.

  2. F &J, that's a good scenario and could well right, but I think the car would have been converted earlier then that, I guess we'll never know. My father found a 1921 Stutz tourer in Roma Queensland in  the late sixties that had been converted to a ute (pickup). He was fortunate the owner had kept the tub to use on the verandah of his homestead as a lounge chair. The rear doors were in the barn and the robe rail was being used as towel rack in  the bathroom, see pica.

  3. I remember 12 volt batteries being twice the size of a 6 volt battery, which was probably bigger than a current 12 volt battery.

     

    As a modern 12 volt battery fits in the battery box made for 6 volt batteries of my prewar Studebakers, with room to spare.
