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!!

Lamborghini seized in police swoop

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

A LAMBORGHINI worth around £300,000 was among the vehicles seized by police during a crackdown on uninsured cars. The orange supercar was initially stopped by officers in Newham, east London as it had no front number plate, and further checks revealed the driver was not the registered owner. The Lamborghini Aventador - which does 0-62mph in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 217mph - was seized when police discovered the driver's insurance policy did not cover him to get behind the wheel of the luxury motor.
