Would be an absolute tragedy to hang lights on that to make it street legal.

Would it be less of a tragedy to not put lights on it so it could be driven around? Just asking.

Legal as-is in California, if it came that way and is prior to January 1, 1958

Thats true of all states. If it met federal requirements when manufactured it's legal now.

The down side is the limited visability without lights. Espically in this cocoon car, distracted driving society we're in now.

Absolutely street-legal. Factory equipment, right there.

In California ALL vehicles must be retrofitted with seat belts, no exception if driven on the public streets.

Take that out after dark from a car show around here and you won't make it home. Guaranteed.
Our Model T guys use the strap-on towing lights hooked to a 12V battery.

Question is who is deciding if seatbelts are anchored well enough.

 

[commando1]

5/16ths eyebolts through 3/4 plywood pass the NHTSA standards I believe.

I doubt they'd even look to see if they were even attached. personally I'd install them under the seat bolts or make a bracket that did.
