Original Porsche Lighter
Text by Dale Moody and Charlie White
Dale Moody: This lighter was given to me by the Porsche dealer when I bought my Convertible D (85633) new on 12/20/58. Like a lot of people back then, and especially GIs—which I was at the time—I smoked and I suppose the dealer felt obligated (but not too much) to do this since the Convertible D did not come with a cigarette lighter, it was an option that I didn't order. [See photos of Dale's beautiful Convertible D here.]
Charlie White: This lighter shows up in an "Advertising Articles" brochure dated in 1963. Go to my web page on owner's manual supplements and other misc brochures, and scroll down to the bottom. You will see a picture of this same lighter taken from the advertising articles brochure.
