Yeah..those old fashioned hand cranks were really convenient especially on a real cold day when you were hoping for a broken arm..
You can thank Charles Kettering for fixing that.. Those things were dangerous..many broken arms and hands and fingers..
I'm kind of happy to have headlights although I'm not too pleased with some of the super bright lights some vehicles now have. It's like driving directly into the sun some nights..lol
