What accessary do you get the most get the most comments?

As I try and add a limited number of period correct accessories to my truck ... the one item that drew the most comments at last Saturdays Car Show was my Radar Detector. Some remembered it or some had no idea a Radar Detector was available in the mid 60's - mid 70's.

So what accessory do you display that gets comments ... we all want to know.

Never got specific comments on anything particular on my truck, except for rims. However, it was the factory A/C that my 70 3/4 ton that sold me on my truck.

Not a true "accessory", but everyone that sees the old glass door knob has to ask what it's for...

What I get most comments on is not an accessory but my plaid bucket seats.
