SUPERB idea!! However it is not clear to me how a "factory option" differs from a "factory-authorized accessory". this also begs the question as to wheather there ia a factory accessory as opposed to factory-authorized option.

Moreover it is not clear to me how an "option" differs from an "accessory".

Edit: Is ther some PMCC documentaion that defines "option" as opposed to "accesory" and "factory" as opposed to "factory -authorized"???

I suppose a more powerful engine could be considered an option and not an accessory unless the extra power is gotten from just a carb and a cam.


Dave and Keith, One of the better questions of the year. What is an option and when does an option become an accessory.

Along with the Trippe lights, one could also mention 55-6 AC. The factory option to me would be the front indash unit yet you see any number of ARA installed trunk units advertised as factory AC which it would have been if it were a 57 car. Were there ever any factory 55-6 trunk units out of Detroit or were those all dealer installed accessories perhaps done at time of purchase before the customer ever took delivery the car. I say no to trunk units or it would be mentioned in manuals but in that context the customer is right in saying factory air-- he bought and paid for "factory air" and it came installed when he got the car.
