Fwd: Lucas Fog Light Covers

Discussion in 'Shelby Mustang List' started by ORLMUST@aol.com, Mar 2, 2005.

  1. Good question about the Marchal Fog Lamp Covers.

    We have been collecting Lucas & Marchal Fog lamps & Literature for
    20 years. There were apparently never any 68 Marchal Covers. A few
    people advertise a later style Marchal with over-size lenses and fitted
    "White" covers. These are incorrect for 1968. They are excellent for
    drivers or wanabe Shelbys.

    NEW QUESTION:
    How many low mileage or one owner cars actually had the LUCAS Fog
    Lamp Covers with the cars? We have heard the covers were to be included
    with the car. Maybe, stored in the glovebox ? Check old photos... They
    never have the Lucas Covers installed.

    CS was too cheap to include the fog light covers - I know many original owners and they NEVER got the covers - When they would ask they would be sent to the parts department (with wallet in hand)

    I had a recent strange event which might address that situation. I
    received a phone call several nights ago from a individual in Penn.
    who was trying to track his father's 1968 GT500 KR and had been told
    by someone at SAAC that I was the current owner. He had the Vin
    number which indeed matched mine and then we proceeded to have a nice
    conversation about the car. I asked him to ask his father about any
    original material he might have on the car and particularly if he
    still had the Lucas Fog lamp covers. He replied a few days later that
    his father told him that it did not come with
    any covers, but some dealerships did sell them as "extras."

    He also told me a rather strange story about the Lucas lights, that
    the individual who his father eventually sold the car to didn't like
    the Lucas lights and took them off to put on a set of 67 Shelby
    lights, which he liked better. I'm not sure why you'd want to but the
    Lucas lights where on it when I bought it six years ago
