It's winter and nobody can drive their stuff so might as well chat about relatively mundane stuff.

Another map light I have found over the years is the small style used on the 73-77 A bodies and carried over onto some of the 78-80 Buick Regals/Centurys. If you ever have the head liner out of your car you can see the stamped hole just behind the center of the top of the windshield. This hole should be on all of the 78-88 solid roof A/G bodies. I used to find them in the yards back in the 90's. They look similar to this one but they do not have provisions for inner attachment points for the sun visors.

I've pulled 2 of these and sold them both to members on the site. Both were found in wagons. One was the same color as the one you pictured.
