Wow, that's a really nice 961 (my favorite model)!
Beautiful paint and nice to see original rest-o-ride
seat and PA rims. BTW, what is the small silver
clip on the rear axle housing above the left trumpet
for? Mine is missing that. -Will |

Trailer lights. I think that was an option. I've seen several pre-'65 Fords with these...but none that were functional. |

I pulled out my Owners Manual and found this picture. Looks like a peg of some sort with a rubber cover, does the light mount on that? Not sure if it's the same thing. -Will
