Here are a couple of neat old auto accessories that are still in their boxes after 60 years, although the boxes are getting frail.  Please read the whole description before buying.

There are a lot of blemishes in the chrome, and most from the factory... nicks, scratches, etc.  The outlets are not perfectly formed, as pictured.

There are also some areas of weak plating on the chrome, as pictured. These were manufactured with a "satin" finish, and are not super glossy like some chromed parts.  The chrome is thin in some areas.  I picture them from all sides so you can see what you are getting.  

These are "Tubex Jr." chromed steel exhaust tips, and they were made to fit LOTS of cars, as the box side shows in one of the pictures... over a dozen makes from 1937-1951.  The application list stops at 1951, and that's how we can date these parts.

These are made to slip onto and clamp down on a 1 3/4" outer diameter exhaust pipe, and they are about 7 inches long overall.  If you have hot rodded your car, or put a larger diameter exhaust on, this may not fit, even though your car is listed on the box.  I recommend you measure your exhaust before purchasing.  

I have to mention the flaws and imperfections, but  these are a rare old pair.  If you are into satin finishes, they are ideal.

Don't worry... you'll love 'em!!

Mazda MX-5 Kuro Special Editions

Thu, 28 Jun 2012

Mazda has released yet another special edition MX-5 for the UK market in the guise of the Mazda MX-5 Kuro.  Yes, it’s yet another special edition MX-5, this time the Mazda MX-5 Kuro which comes as either a 1.8 litre soft top or a 2.0 litre Roadster Coupe. It seems the Japanese like the idea of ‘Black’ Special Edition cars as much as we do in the West (Kuro means black in Japanese), with the last ‘Kuro’ special being the Nissan Juke Kuro. But oddly Mazda are offering the MX-5 Kuro not just in black but also in Velocity Red Mica and Crystal White Pearlescent, with the ‘Kuro’ bits referring to the Brilliant Black roof, door mirrors and dark gunmetal 17″ alloys.
