    What are the grab straps mounted on the B pillar on late 40's and 50's GM cars called? Does anyone know of a source for them for a 49 Buick Super or Roadmaster?

    Heel/leg supporters back in my day was slang for them!

    Had my first car, a 64 Bonnie, ended up with a hole in the head liner from spiked heel shoes, should have seen me lying my a$$ off when my mom asked me what happened to your roof son?

  6. Yup...had an elderly lady, maybe 80ish years old poke her head into our '36 Ford sedan about 20 or so years ago. She looked over and said "you removed them"...I asked, "removed what?"...she responded with a somewhat shyish grin " the ankle holders!"... apparently she had some fond memories.
