Fun on eBay: Period Michelin tire stem tool

Part of the fun of restoring an old car is looking for parts. With eBay this is much more organized than in years gone by with an amazing amount of exposure worldwide for buyers and sellers. While looking there are always items out there to tempt you and I recently stumbled on this little tool from Michelin for removing and installing the cores from the tire stems.

While not specific to the Dino it is a tool distributed by Michelin to their dealers around the time our car was new. We thought it a cool little addition to our car and a cheap way to have some fun.
