I bought a pair last year for $5.00, at a flea market, in the original boxes. Boxes are being preserved, curb finders are being used on my 48 DeSoto.
I love em, and they really do work!

 

When I was growing up, our johnny house didn't have electricity .

 

either that or lick the keyhole

 

the god awful hoffman group sell one.

 

I have a couple of those "Wolf Whistles" and one similar to the "Gas Mileage Gauge".

 

I bought some of those gadgets that would save gas with the high tech spark plugs, vacuum gages, timing tools, additives, fans, etc. until I was saving 120% of my fuel In fact, I had to stop and syphon 5 gallons of gas out of the tank to keep it from running over.

 

No lie, been there, done that .

 

My Dad's 57 Chrysler Windsor had that! There were two fill ports in the rear deck. He had some sort of black grit he used. I think there was a lever under the dash to release the grit. It was the only one I ever saw.

 

I'll see your Ball Sack Warmer and raise you Rectal Dilators!

 

Some of my Mopar gadgets.

 

41, cool gadgets.
Also, nice to see I'm not the only one that keeps his garage organized, and clutter free .

 

Fram water filters............

 

While we are on the subject of water !! No Hot-Rod should be without one of these !!! >>>>.

 

A must-have for road trips....

 

If leaning back on it didn't work, you could always sit on it.

 

Rectal Dilators??? Automotive use??? AHHHH !!!! Tailpipe expander!!
Rectal Dilators HHAAAAAAA

 

My friends are amazed by my car's powerful engine throb since I put on my Mellow Tone Exhaust Tuner! Girls love it too.

It was well worth the $2.98 + handling charges that I paid.

 

Hey !....I bought one of these from JC Whitney back in HS. One of the very 1st "hot rod" accessories I ever got.
Put it on my 57 Dodge Coronet. I remember timing it one time, then set it somewhat mid-range.
The engine ran great at about 80, but then was kinda doggy around town, so I'd adjust back(?) so it would run right. Often times I'd forget where the heck its relative position was supposed to be and just didnt bother anymore. Plus, my dad informed me; "...you keep messin with that timing..you'll blow a hole in a piston!".

 

That is badass.

 

Love this thread!! I got some goofy gadgets also, have to locate em!
