Servi-Car Tow Bar Cable

[clanky]

Hello.....I am restoring a '49 Servi-Car and trying to make is as accurate as I can, does anyone know about the cable on the tow bar, was it a bare stranded cable or was it a black coated cable? Also, do you know how long it was? If someone has an original cable on their Servi, can you shoot a photo of the connector on the end of the cable? Thanks much for your time.

I once had one that was bare cable.

Thank you, Chris. So the Servi you had, had the original cable, that was bare, as far as you know? The photo you sent, it looks like that cable has something on it, with a matte finish, like a hose. I saw a photo once of a Servi-Car at a gas station that looked like it had fuel hose around the cable, but it was hard to tell.
Thanks much for the reply and that great photo of the '49.

This is from the 1948 Dealer Announcement news bulletin for the new models and it appears to be covered with something. There isn't a close up like this in the '49 announcement but the cable looks the same. 1948 Servi-Car tow bar.jpg
