cigar lighters for a 39

Posted by David Grubbs On 2011/5/10 9:17:06

After searching for a replacement lighter for my 39 120, I've found a good one and have installed it in the dash. I learned that there was a "cat's eye" model that was used on some Packards of that era - it had a brown lens that when the lighter was hot, the eye would glow. In my search, I found the top(knob)to a cat's eye model, but it is different from the standard types - it has female threads, rather than the usual male that attaches it to the lighter. Does anyone have any experience with how it attaches to the lighter mechanism? It would be fun to have it working. See the photos below. thanks
