HJ Cigerette Lighter
« on: July 07, 2013, 01:59:45 AM »
Can someone post a picture of a 52 HJ Cigerette lighter?  I think my car has wrong one, with a chrome knob.   Thanks

The photo Corsairdeluxe  posted is correct.  I did take some pix of mine when restoring one a few years ago.
Here's the one I restored for my '53. It has a repro cable on it from Bob McBride and a repro knob from Rudy Phillips. This is what the original looks like.


And in the car



The lighter itself is a Casco-B'P'T which you can sometimes find on ebay. Rudy has the knobs and it's usually pretty easy just to replace the knob.

The cigarette lighter was an option for Henry J's unless part of the car's Accessory Group.  Casco was supposed to be the vendor for the assembly;  they supplied several types for aftermarket installation.
