This one puzzles me.

The 66 in the part number indicates original usage on a two door. A wagon would be 76, the four door 54. I'm guessing that's part of an accessory luggage rack for the sedans.

Amidst an era of flood lighting, that's awesome.

[gadget73]

yeah, electroluminesent panels and a boost converter are most likely what you're seeing here. The EL panels I know of are sort of a soft green color but I don't think they have to be green. Chryslers from the mid 60s had that sort of lighting in the dash.

[FatNasty]

I bet they were just a long strip version of these old electroluminescent night lights (you can still buy them, they just aren't as cool as they used to be). Looks like a little black box on the wiring to convert from 12V to 110V (probably just a DC boost converter?).

[DerekTheGreat]

I wonder what those coach lamps look like too. I've never seen a set in the wild, only in photos.

Oh wow. Would you look at that. Mind blown.

I knew I'd seen that somewhere before.

Note the very thin but long coach lamp on the B-pillar, which Fords normally didn't get.

For me, the question is where did they get the high voltage from? Was this maybe only available in conjunction with the heated windshield, to make use of the high voltage bits?

Super strange, especially running at 110 volts. Is it basically like one of those little panel night lights that plug straight into an AC outlet and glow green? Did it just make an iridescent glow that was super cool/rare for the 80s? Curious to see what they looked like on at night.
