Elaine got into some old Scrap Books today and among other interesting things, found an Accessories booklet that came with our new 1952 Chevrolet. Many things that are "standard equipment" today are listed in the booklet. Perhaps the most striking is this attachment to provide "Turn Signals". Also included are: "Outside Rear View Mirrors", "Windshield Washers", "Electric Clock", "Door Arm Rest", "Recirculating Heater and Defroster" and, "Deluxe Radio". I'm sure our '52 Chevy had a heater but not a very fancy one but we didn't have any version of these other "special" items. Also included in the booklet are: "Seat Covers", "Tissue Dispenser", "Illuminated Cigarette Lighter", "Tool Kit", "White Sidewall Rims", "Rear Fender Panels", Spot Lights" and some other things that we wouldn't even want today. Our '52 Chevy was a good little car but by 1956 we had 4 kids so traded it in on a new Pontiac Station Wagon.
