Interesting find at Desert Valley

[MetalManiacAZ]

I paid a visit to my neighborhood wrecking yard, Desert Valley Auto Parts, to pick up a couple of sway bar links (snapped a nut on mine) and came across this. It's a Kelsey Hayes electric brake controller. It was on a pretty low optioned 65 Newport sedan, save for Autopilot. It had two tow plugs on the back and a big *** CB antenna. I thought this was pretty cool.

I haven't seen one like that in decades.

What was weird is that is was mounted on the fender and not inside the car. I guess the original owner took the Ron Popeil "set it and forget it" approach.

So you just got out of bed, rolled down the hill and you were there! If the members knew your location you'd be at the top of the "You Suck" list.
