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!!

Fiesta ST Concept (2012 / 2013) to show at Frankfurt

Sat, 10 Sep 2011

Ford Fiesta ST - expected at Frankfurt There was a time when it seemed likely Ford would abandon all plans for a hot Fiesta. They seemed convinced that a Fiesta ST would be anathema in our seemingly eco-obsessed times, but fortunately they’ve had a change of heart. We reported back in September 2010 – after we had spy shots of what appeared to be the new Fiesta ST – that Ford were planning to cash-in on their WRC Fiest profile to finally bring us a Fiesta with a bit more get-up-and-go than the Zetec S could manage.

Mercedes-Benz G-class to get V12 power

Mon, 26 Mar 2012

Mercedes-Benz has slyly revealed a lightly facelifted version of the 33-year-old G-class prior to its planned public premiere at the Beijing motor show next month. The reworked version of the German carmaker's iconic military-grade SUV, planned to go on sale in European markets in June with North American deliveries slated to begin by the end of this year, can be seen in the background of an official photograph of the facelifted GLK posted on the Mercedes-Benz media Web site. Among the subtle changes made to the G-class's classic square exterior is a restyled grille with three prominent slats in place of the older model's seven slats, new headlamp inserts with horizontally mounted LED running lights and redesigned mirror housings.
