Light above left front wheel.safety ad on from 20's

Post by tdump » Tue Oct 21, 2025 10:32 pm

I remember seeing somewhere a magazine ad for a light that would be mounted inside the inner fender of a 20's vintage car to light up the tire for oncoming cars to see it, and it was being marketed as a safety device.Does any one know where I could find a copy of that ad I could print off?

I looked through the After Market Parts gallery but didn’t see
What you’re describing on pages 16-17 of the After Market Accessories page. (Alphabetically “L”.)
Maybe it’s listed under another topic alphabetically on that page or under the Adverts page.

There’s also Jay In California’s older “accessory of the day” link.

If you remember the manufacturer’s name you might find it by googling “MTFCA (manuf’s name).”
