DESCRIPTION:  THIS IS - AS FAR AS I RECALL - A SPOTLIGHT FOR A 1955, 1956, OR 1957 PONTIAC (STAR CHIEF, CHIEFTAIN, SUPER CHIEF, STRATO CHIEF, LAURENTIAN, BONNEVILLE, ETC.) AND/OR GMC PICKUP TRUCK.  BECAUSE I'M NOT POSITIVE OF THE INTERCHANGE OR FITMENT CAPABILITIES, I'LL INVOKE THE CAVEAT EMPTOR CLAUSE (incl. the range of years - which could include 1958 and 1959 for the truck interchange, because of major body re-tooling in 1960).  I WILL GLADLY HELP WITH MEASUREMENTS AND DIMENSIONS BEFORE AUCTION ENDS (AND WELCOME PHONE CALLS INQUIRING ABOUT SUCH - SEE NEXT PARAGRAPH).  I'VE HAD IT FOR MANY YEARS, AND CAN'T REMEMBER WITH CERTAINTY WHAT IT CAME OFF OF.  I THINK (I'm fairly sure that) IT WAS FROM A 1955 OR 1956 PONTIAC/GMC.   OF COURSE, 1957 HAD A SIMILAR BODY.  IT MAY FIT OLDSMOBILE, BUICK, CADILLAC, AS WELL AS CHEVY (CHEVROLET), DURING THE SAME PERIOD IN THE FIFTIES (50's).  THE PITTING IS VERY MILD AND LIGHT - WOULD VERY EASILY RECHROME TO SPECTACULAR RESULTS.  THE HEAD PIVOTS LEFT AND RIGHT VERY EASILY, AND THE ON/OFF SWITCH SLIDES WITHOUT A HITCH (although I haven't hooked it up to a battery recently - been in my storage since the '90s).  THE LENS HAS A SUPERFICIAL SCUFF OR SHORT SQUIGGLY LINE THAT ISN'T TOO NOTICEABLE.  I HAVEN'T TRIED TO POLISH IT (not sure if it is glass).  THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS LOSING SOME OF THE SILVERING (ON THE BACK - also small in area), BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE BEHIND YOU WITH IT ADEQUATELY.   I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE TWO CHROME STRAPS ARE FOR ON THE SHAFT.  OVERALL, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL-PRESERVED SPOTLIGHT (FOG LIGHT OR LAMP).  AN NOS ONE WILL COST YOU $1,000 (OR MORE).  IT IS A GENUINE GUIDE SPOT LAMP.     

SHIPPING/PACKING:  BECAUSE I'M IN THE CORNER OF THE COUNTRY, SHPG COSTS MAY BE A BIT MORE.  SETS OF LARGE HUBCAPS (AND LARGER ITEMS) MAY BE DIMENSIONALLY WEIGHTED (i.e., charged more than actual weight) BY UPS IN ANY BOX 16”x18”x18” OR LARGER (> 5183 TOTAL INCHES).  I DON’T CHARGE A SEPARATE HNDLNG FEE (FOR DOMESTIC SHPMTS), SO WHEN YOU SEE THE EFFORT I WENT THROUGH TO PACK THIS ORDER, YOU'LL THINK IT'S A BARGAIN.   I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING, IF ITEMS CAN BE SHIPPED TOGETHER SAFELY (by deducting approx. 50% of the lesser shpg cost for each additional item).  NOTE THAT EBAY’S SHIPPING CALCULATOR DOESN’T ADD THE EXTRA CHARGES IT COSTS ME FOR RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY, RURAL RESIDENTIAL, OUT-OF-SERVICE AREA, INSURANCE, AND FUEL SURCHARGE, AND I PAY A COMMISSION OUT OF THE SHPG PRICE.  SO I’M OFTEN UNDERSTATING THE ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COST IN THE QUOTE.  THEREFORE, IT IS MY PREROGATIVE TO USE A DIFFERENT SHIPPER THAN THAT LISTED IN THE AUCTION (e.g., U.S.P.S. instead of U.P.S.), IF I FEEL THE ITEM CAN BE SHIPPED MORE EFFECTIVELY BY OTHER MEANS (i.e., more cheaply, or in pre-fab cartons, such as those used by U.S.P.S.).  I ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE FOR ANY RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS THAT INCURS THE ADD’L “RURAL” OR “OUT OF NORMAL DELIVERY AREA” SURCHARGE.  THESE SURCHARGE COSTS RANGE FROM $2.75 TO $3.50 NOW!  RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY COSTS ME $2.80 ALONE, AND I ABSORB IT (DON’T CHARGE THE BUYER).  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT ANYTIME: 6one9-442-2800.  PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE IF I CAN'T GET TO THE PHONE!  THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR BUSINESS & COOPERATION...

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  WELCOME!  IF THE SHPG QUOTE SEEMS A LITTLE HIGH, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING.  IT TAKES ME QUITE A BIT OF EXTRA TIME TO SEND A PKG OUT OF THE U.S.; A VERY NOMINAL HNDLG CHARGE’S BEEN ADDED.  I WILL SEND PHOTOS OF PACKAGING DETAIL (IF REQUESTED).

LAYAWAY OPTION & PAYMENT TERMS:  YOU MUST MAKE A PAYMENT FOR THIS ITEM (at least 50% down) WITHIN 48 HOURS.  I WILL ALLOW UP TO 30 DAYS (90 days, if pre-arranged) FOR THE BALANCE DUE TO BE PAID.  Thank you for your cooperation...

FEEDBACK:  MY REWARD IS THE SATISFACTION OF HAPPY BUYERS, AND MY GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE 5 STAR RATINGS.  THERE IS NO RATING FOR HOW WELL A BOX IS PACKED (CUSHIONED), AND THAT IS WHERE I EXCEL. IF THERE IS ANY DELAY IN SHPMT, PLEASE CONSIDER HOW WELL I PACKED THE ITEM(S), AND THE HOURS I’VE SPENT.  I’VE BEEN KNOWN TO DOUBLE-BOX, USE DOUBLE-WALL BOXES, & WRAP THINGS 3 DIFFERENT WAYS.  IN 34 YRS OF SHPG (OF EVERY VEHICLE PART AND/OR SHEET METAL/FRAME/BODY SECTION IMAGINABLE, AND WITH EVERY AIR OR GROUND CARRIER & TRUCKING FIRM YOU’VE EVER HEARD OF), I’VE RARELY EVER HAD A DAMAGED SHPMT!  I KINDLY & HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU LEAVE A RATING OF *****, IF YOU DO LEAVE A RATING.

FYI:  IN 2011, I DONATED ALMOST HALF OF MY YEAR’S EBAY SALES RECEIPTS TO THE JAPAN EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND…

Higher gas prices? Blame ethanol

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

MarketWatch reported today that the price of ethanol has seen a 30-percent price increase so far this year, taking the price of gasoline up with it, since a good majority of "gasoline" sold today is around 10 percent ethanol. The average price of a gallon of gas today is $2.30, according to FactSet data, but this has varied since the beginning of 2014. Despite the recent surge, ethanol prices have also proved to be rather volatile with reports of it dropping 8 percent this past Thursday after falling 10 percent just the day before.
