Re: Lucas Fog Light Covers

Discussion in 'Shelby Mustang List' started by Robert Gaines, Mar 2, 2005.

  1. Pete I have a friend in town here in KC that is a original owner of a 69
    GT350 that still has his car. He said that he discovered the covers in
    his glove box shortly after taking delivery of his car in late 69 . He
    said he transfered them to the trunk because it didn't leave any room
    for anything else in the glovebox when they were stored there. I have
    heard similar stories but that was a first hand account. Bob G.
