[Roadsters] rear reflector

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

I have a hard time imagining that your typical gendarme will have any clue 
what OEM stuff was on a nearly 50-year-old car.  OK, maybe in the People's 
Republic of California and other foreign countries like New York and Ohio. 
(Ohio spends WAY too much money on their state police.  Those guys all have 
laser...)
