Title: Winky the Cat Package Tray Brake Light/Turn Signal?
Post by: hawkfan on August 04, 2021, 05:53:33 PM
I'm looking for one of the WINKY cats one would put on the rear window package tray that his eyes would light up with the brake light and turn signals.  I've searched the internet and found only one for the low price of $250?
Anyone out there know where I could find one for a decent price?

Thanks
Brian

Don't be surprised if that IS a decent price. I just bought some bumper guards that are beautifully re-chromed, and I thought the price was high, until I sent photos of my un-chromed guards to a plater and he bid four times the price I paid for the finished product.

I ran across this site:

Lots of 50's stuff for cars.

Theyre not in chicago any more.  Theyre in LaSalle county now.

Are they still in business or is it 40 years too late?

They are now owned by carparts.com  They are right off I-80 at the Starved Rock exit.

The Winky the Cat is impossible to find.  There was one posted on King of Dice so I placed an order and they got back to me and said they can no longer get them so I'm still on the hunt for one.

Seems to me that could be easy to make, a couple of LEDs in a stuffed animal......
