heh heh, I was gonna answer but I thought, what the heck do I know about
cars built in my 30's?

So anyway, on the ancient ones, since the harness is a discrete chunk
o'wiring, it is unlikely to be present in a vehicle that was not born
with the trait it serves.

But as Jeff points out, you can surely work out all these details in a
suitable open-carpet patient.
