Gas Cap Boxes from Bob’s Collection
LOCKING GAS CAPS Original Ford accessories Includes 2 keys.
Bob is shown assembling his first reproduction chrome item, the 48-18416 locking gas cap as fea- tured within an article in Ford Life Magazine’s May- June issue of 1973. Bob was new to the world of manufacturing and quickly learned the principals of die-casting, chrome plating, component sourc- ing and marketing. He first offered these at $19.95 and sold hundreds. After suddenly realizing the huge demand, Bob increased his component or- ders which lowered his cost considerably. He de- cided to lower his price to $14.95 and refunded the difference to all his previous locking gas cap customers. Today this cap is still among his best selling items.

At left are two locking gas caps from Bob's collection. They were made by Standt who also made them for Atlas, a division of Standard Oil Co. Standt was the exclusive supplier of locking gas caps to Ford. While these caps at left have the same main body as our 01A-18416 copies of the original Ford units shown above, the slide-cover for the keyhole was totally different. Ford's was much smaller and had a stylish thumb-lever, and are the only reproductions available being correct for a true Ford restoration. Beware of swap meet copies.
