Wow, nice gun. The Bill Wilson combat is on the very top of my short list.

I have a few very nice 1911's, They do not say in a car though.

I have 2 Ed Browns, a Special Forces and a Centennial edition executive elite. I also have to Les Bears'. I carry the Stainless steel Singer quite a bit, and the other is the Boss.

1911's rank up there with Corvettes and Harley's for me.

4) tire plug
5) 12v mini tire pump
6) suction cup (to easily remove top)
7) car cover
8) driving gloves
9) power inverter
10) multiple phone charging wires - microUSB, miniUSB, USB-C, etc.
11) electrical tape
12) extra sunglasses
13) blanket
14) toilet paper...
15) rope
16) zip-ties
17) multi-tool
18) long sleeve shirt
19) flashlight
20) analog tire pressure gauge

This seems like a long list, but many of the items are really small, and I have a corvette embroidered suitcase that holds 90% of it neatly in the back with plenty of space left over.

I'm considering adding a small fire extinguisher and/or some baking soda but haven't decided on which yet.

What do you all keep in your car / what should I add (or remove) on my list?
Air pump
Extra iphone cables
Gloves
Forgot, 380 Auto handgun

Glad I live in NY where you really can't carry guns.

I've got a USB cable for my phone, a flash drive with music, and my eyeglasses. Plus registration and insurance card.

I carry practically everywhere I go, getting robbed at gunpoint twice will do that to you.

You have a padded, leather wrapped steering wheel, why do you need driving gloves?

I also own a WCSpecOps9 which I use for plinking and high volume firearm training...cheaper ammo and I don't have to put so many rounds through my .45

I think of my WC1911s the same way I think of my C7. My car is not a garage queen, and my pistol is not a gun safe queen. If I am going to get in a gunfight, I want my favorite pistol within reach.
