My first story above was fictitious of course, however here's a true story that affected myself.

EVERY published picture of the pre-restored WORLD FAMOUS BARRELCUDA clearly shows the car with Road Lamps.

A conversation with the original owner confirmed that the lights were on the car, as he ordered it, and were there at the time he picked it up. He's still alive and very well

However....The road lamps DO NOT appear on the original broadcast sheet and other then the lamps themselves there was no original switch or wiring to be found in the car.

I chose to restore the car without the lamps because that's what the broadcast sheet says...

As for "it's your car do what you want" I agree some people believe that and that's terrific for them, but don't knock people who do not believe. This hobby is full of all different types of people.
