What is it?


Cold Blue

Recommended Posts

I found this metal "thing" in the trunk of my '48 not long after I bought it. By looking at it, it appears to be as old as the car is. I think that it may be an original wheel chock? If it is, I think you would position it under the tire like shown in photo No. 2.   Thanks!

I've seen both styles in a mix of 1946-48 cars.

1946-48 Chryslers though generally have wood..

My 50 newYorker has a metal one.

Looks like a wheel chock to me also, I'd use it as in pic # 1 as that way the angle at the end of the long side would "dig" into the ground and the tyre would sit against the short but reinforced side.........I'd give it a clean, paint and thank it for making it thru to now.............lol................andyd

Your respect level just dropped another couple of notches. Seems that everyone except you knows that a Georgia E brake is an armadillo. 

I’ve never seen possum-on-the-half-shell used as wheel chock before.  

 

In Georgia or otherwise.
