I've already decided that if I ever get a Duesenberg, the license plate will be FARM USE.

Thanks for sharing Randy! Found a couple of Vintage root beer stand mugs in a Bugeye Sprite once, along with some items similar to your find.

My AMX has its original scissors jack and folding lug wrench. It's all decoration though, I don't think these Space Saver spares worked very well even when new. So I just carry my AAA card.

Yes on the Factory Jack... and I wouldn't jack up my red flyer toy wagon with that piece of ill designed, widow make'n, what where they thinking.... contraption.

I grew up in a family of "high school newspaper editors" and somehow I find myself always making a record (of sorts) of my adventures... here's what else lay waiting in the $100 wagon....

www.wowabunga.com/fun/whooptie/everybody.html

2 large plastic ducks. A interesting book of matches. A 1970's Florida road map. A can of refreshment. More matches. The last original Georgia Registration card. A Georgia inspection receipt. Some 70 cents worth of coinage. A plastic toy bullet.

Drum Roll.... even came with keys... but I couldn't find them on my first or second visit prior to towing. This car has two ashtrays centered less than a foot apart ( what luxury ) and the much needed keys were later to be found in the passenger ash tray. Heck I didn't know they had 2 ash trays.

I Ramble and travel a lot looking for car parts and peering into old sheds... Sorry to ramble about my much loved wagon, will report back when I find and buy my first $500 dollar Duesenberg.

Does the wagon have the factory jack?

Consultation is like Castor oil, easy to give, but hard to take.
