Carcheology? What is this?

[26th-Z]

I found this cable in my car and wonder what it is. The cable goes over the top of the passenger wheel arch and down into the dog leg. That end is just the cut end of the cable, but finished so that it won't fray. The eye loop is woven ito the cable. Was this used to pull the wiring harness over the wheel arch? Anyone seen one of these?

Hard to say looking at the photo.It may be a wire puller.I have seen on another type car a similiar unit to open the fuel door from the front seats.I can tell you whatever it was now it is a rattleROFL You never know whats in old cars.I found half a cane fishing pole in the fuel tank of my 46 truck.My guess is it was a cane fuel level finder once upon a time.

At least you didn't pay extra for it!

I found the previous owners traffic tickets in the tool compartment, and looks like the officer inspected the car for everything, and wrote him for just about everthing, non street legal that is.:nervous:
