Bug Deflectors!!

[normanpitkin]

hi ,I am thinking of buying one of these ,seemingly pointless,dress up items ,does anyone have one,or indeed have an opinion about them ?Pictures please!!

Here's my favorite. Had it on the car for several years. Last summer, the propellor flew off. So, no I need to find a new one to replace it.

Gets lots of comments.

Also have this one.

And here is a third one I have........

My opinion - some are more nifty than others. Just depends on what you

like.

You could go so far as to get some of those fancy mudflaps from the

day, also. I happen to like period stuff......not everybody does.

verry nice ,especially the little bugger,haha! Fancy mudflaps are great ,never seen any of those for sale!what about chrome doorhandle guards ,ditto gascap guards!

Bob, we used to call those mudflaps "Tennessee air brakes" .

Well, Norman, if that super looking Chrysler coupe in your profile is what you're

referring to - I don't think they made any door handle guards for these 40s models.

Not sure that they made gas tank filler guards either.

Can't recall seeing any. Probably because the filler is on a curved fender.

The bug deflectors appear on ebay from time to time.

They have even had a couple with the propellor......but I wasn't willing

to pay the $55 they started it for.

Lots of other period stuff out there, depending upon your likes.

I have the chrome headlite visors with the red glass marble, the chrome

wing window wind deflectors, an older compass, magnetic dash tray,

hula girl for the dash, and blue dot tail lights - among other things.
