1940plymouth Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 It is a window defroster, plugs into the cigarette lighter. I don't know how well they worked, but I would imagine better than the defroster did at that time period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamfordsgarage Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Great picture, congratulations. Question to anyone - what is that on the drivers windshield on the first picture? Some sort of defroster? New to me! Thanks for posting, Bob. Very nice! Austin, that thing in front of the driver is a "Frost Shield", basically a thin clear plastic sheet stuck to, and held slightly away from, the windshield with a thick, double-sided tape. It forms a rudimentary double-glazing that reduces frost and ice buildup on the windshield in cold temperatures. There were very common here in Canada up to the 1970s, but fell out of favour with the advent of better automotive HVAC systems. I run frost shields on the front doors and rear windows of the '47 D25 sedan which is my winter daily driver. The cold weather photo below was taken in Canada's Yukon Territory at about -33°C/-27°F. Despite the distorted view, frost shield are a huge help in those sort of temperatures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
