  My son, Michael and I, are restoring a '53 dash to be donated to the early Ford Foundation and we need a lighter element to complete the dash components. We have the socket that goes in the dash, but the element got broken while stored in my barn for 30 years. How could that have happened?? Please contact me if you can help me out. Thanks.

  Have you tried NAPA, AutoZone, etc? The 53 lighter element was a pretty standard item, not like the earlier ones.

  There are three of them for sale on this page: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=1953+ford+lighter&_sacat=0&_odkw=1947+ford&_sop=10&_osacat=0&_sticky=1&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A5335&_sc=1

  Thanks, I'll check it out, I have to be sure to get the correct knob.
