[Healeys] running lights

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

There have been "parking lights" on cars in America for as long as I can 
remember.  Circumstances may have changed making them superflous.

I was stationed in France from 1959 to 1963.  I do not know if things have 
changed there, but especially in the rural areas, when you parked your car 
at night by the side of a road, you had to leave your parking light (you 
could choose which light was on the road side of the car as I recall), and 
if your vehicle had one of those little semaphore turn signal arms that was 
lighted, you put that up.  That would be the true use of a "parking light".
