Re: Hole behind the license plate on a 55 Custom, what is it for?

Thanks John but the license plate lights were standard on these and are located here (black arrows on small picture).

Thanks Howard, the spare tire valve extension is an interesting accessory. I suppose so the owner or service men could top off the air pressure without opening the trunk? IF it were that I would assume that it would be installed as shown in the guide to avoid the hose being in the cargo area proper.

Good idea Don, whenever I check it out I'll look under the car and see if I can see any spliced wires or evidence of a hitch being attached. For a 4pin connector, it needs only spliced to the running lights wire, and each bright brake bulb wire. For a 7pin connector, it also needs a trailer brake and ACC wire, but I doubt that trailers that heavy were used.

What I find a bit curious is the the position of the exhaust pipe being quite close to the center of the car, but it's possibly just reattached in the wrong place after its mount broke. Also note the overspray indicating the car having been repainted.
