I noticed that wind wings were available in '32, could someone tell me about them? Size?, color/s?, what material were they made from? how attached?

Most important where are some pictures of them? Are they re-made today or only NOS?

Gator wind wings are the same as wing vents i the early fifties, but different. They mount on the outside of the front doors. they consist of hinges brackets and glass panes, the brackers are being reproduced and they are a bit pricey. I have a pic of one ,a '28: let's see what I can do:

B.G. 48, I am sorry to say I didn't proof-read my last post......

The wind wings used on 1932 closed cars (except cabriolet) were called "Draft Deflectors", and they are different than those used in 1928. For pictures of the correct 1932 wind wings used on the open cars, and the 1932 draft deflectors used on the closed cars, you need to order the 1932 accessory catalog from the Filling Station. All of the early 1932 accessories are illustrated in that piece of literature.

JunkYardDog, How different are the ones for a 32? We all can't order books just to see a durned "Draft Deflector" We need pictures NOW!

JunkYardDog - now that you are a star dog you may find that your fans are very demanding.

NOW........???????? oh my.

Sure is a nice looking car, MrMack. Only problem is we can't see what kind of tractor is on the other side.

Demanding......?? Hum.......I don't know.......I might have to wip my Junkyard Puppies into shape down the road! ha ha!

The 1931-32 closed car draft deflectors are very different. The brackets consist of two half moons per side with a Chevy bow tie stamped on the front, and etc. Macky Wacky, ya need to get a 1932 reprint of the accessory catalog and you can see the difference, and then when ya are done with it you can send it to Gator. The 1931-32 draft deflectors are very cool.

Car?.......what car? I was looking at the tractor in the background!

WOW, or maybe BOW!WOW! and ARF!...ARF! now that is what us puppies expect out of the BIG DOG!
None of this go-to somewhere and l@@k stuff!

And I don't know about the tractor( in Texas we call the thing a Hay Baler!) the car was on Old Collector Trader several months ago. It was in Florida, and not too bad a price either around $10,000 ,But I wanted a Green one!

Good INFO. NOW!
Arf!..Arf!

A hay bailer huh? Well, here in Oregon us dogs eat them there things for breakfast! Arf arf and a big BOW WOW!!!!

HELP HELP, DOES ANYONE HAVE A PAIR OF 31 32 DRAFT DEFLECTORS FOR SALE. IF SO PLEASE EMAIL ME. THANKS

No, but Macky Wacky has a dandy birdie house for sale! You can see a photo of it up yonder directly behind that car with the wind wings, and in front of that really cool Chevrolet hay bailer!

HEY JUNKYARD DOG, DID YOU LOOK CLOSE AT THE WHITEWALL TYRES, IM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE PAINTED ON WITH WHITE SHOE POLISH OR WITH OUTSIDE HOUSE PAINT??????????????

Neither! The JunkYardDog tinkled on them and it bleached out the rubber and turned the tires white. Hey, it's cheaper than buying white wall tires ain't it? Man, that Coors sure works wonders!!!

What the deal on dem tires is: The whitewalls are real, The black has been painted on with black tire paint: sometimes I wonder about some of you OTHER Puppies! ARF! ARF!

So, what part of the tire is holding the air? The white part or the black part? Bow Wow........GRRRRRRRRR!!

JunkYardDog,

In your first post you said "except cabriolet", my car is a cabriolet so what did the cabriolet have or use?

The Filling Station is in process of putting out a new catalog so I'm still waiting for one. Hopefully it will come soon.

Ok, JunkYardDog as to your question which part of the tire is holding the air, Well, it is the tube that is holding the air, and as to why it is called an inner-tube is because it holds the air IN the tire! so the part of the tire that holds the air in is the inside of the tire, and Oliver Hardy, that is that..

An inner tube?? Cool man! Okay, once again, which part of the sidewall of your tire is holding the inner tube......the white part or the black part??

Well JunkYardDog I guess that depends.............on whether you has whitewalls or blackwalls, I have blackwalls so.......it must be the blackwall sidewalls. Okay?

Also I don't have no sissy wind wings either, don't need any, Mrs Mack keeps me cool with cold drinks and a cool look once in a while.

Hum......so do ya have whitewalls on the inside of the blackwalls or do ya have a mix of each?

Glad that Mrs. Macky Wacky keeps ya cool and stuff. The JunkYardDog is kept cool by Elvira and Coors. Try it.....you'll like it!!

JunkYardDog I don't have NO stinkin' whitewalls, inside outside or sideways!!

I just have black wall Allstate Nylon tires with red rubber inner tubes holding the air inside the tires, what I gotta do to get it thru your T***K Haid! "Old Buddy, Buddy"

Hum, now I gets it! Old Mack Wacky is blind as a bat! Seems to me's that we was all talkin' about them there whitey walls that's on the photo of the '28 that Macky Wacky posted above. Okay, if them there ain't whitey walls then them there must be pinky walls, because they sure as hell ain't no blacky walls. Poor Macky Wacky....looks like he has a been drinkin' too much of that there Buttswipper beer lately.

Hey guys, tell me about cabriolet wing wings,
is there a problem with wings when you lay the windshield down? Were there made of glass? what about colors? Would etching the glass cost you points or not? I have noticed a lot of F*#ds have glass etching on them.

"them sissy wind wings"? Never knew that.

Gator, Yes sissy "Wind Wings"

No JunkYardDog ,
That picture is not my car! I would not have those sissy "wind wings" to bump my head and keep me from spitting out the window and "sissy whitewall tires" on my car for a JunkYardDog to tinkle on.

You want to see wind wings and brackets?? Didn't anybody check my site??

Bill\'s 1931 Chevrolet Site

They ain't pretty, but at least I got pictures!!

Thanks Bill the pictures really helped, are remakes of the orginal wing wings for sale somewhere today.

What about etching on the glass, ever seen it done on Chevys?

I like the wings also, so I guess both of us are "sissies", wonder what people put on a car to make it "manly"? Larger cranks maybe?

Gator,most of them have a couple of hound dawgs or JY Dawgs in the seat with them and then they can ride with a dog sticking his head out the winders! Doggie drool just messes up the wind wings anyway. I didn't say anyone that had wind wings was a "sissy" you can always blame them on your better half, like I do the flowery curtains in the back window and the box of tissues on the dash, and I think old Rebel and Rex kinda like the curtains!
Yeah!

The stock 1932 accessory wind wings - draft deflectors were not engraved.

HEY JUNKYARD DOG, HOW ABOUT SELLING ME A PAIR OF YOUR ORIGINAL WIND WINGS, THAT STILL LEAVES YOU WITH SIX MORE PAIR?????????

5 more pair.....not 6!

Donald, you need some wind wings? I bet JunkYardDog's all have permanent doggie drool. Gator may have mistaken doggie drool for etched glass, reckon? A set of wind wings may make it easier to hear the "Oldies" Stations on your genuine, original, stock equipment ,deluxe ,32 Chevrolet radio!
....... Oh for a good Oldies radio station try KDAV AM on the www, it is in Lubbock Tx. the home of Buddy Holly and the Crickets

HEY MR MACK, I USE TO WORK FOR TIME DC MOTOR FREIGHT IN LUBBOCK TEXAS, TILL THEY WENT BROKE SOME YEARS BACK.YA

Donald, did you get dipped when you left the Lone Star State or did they dip you when you came in? I see you weren't too broke to leave, lucky you.
Here you been jerking my chain and you are practially a native Texican!
My, my, and you were asking me whut the state burd of Texas is!
The wind blows pretty large pebbles around up there on "The High Plains! (we don't call the High Plains a desert)
And I am one of those durned "Red Raiders! " The Class of 1959 ......God Bless Texas!.....and God Bless you too!

YEP MR MACK, EYE IS FROM THE CLASS OF 57 YES SIR, AND A REAL ELVIS PRESLEY FAN TOO, WHY WE WERE IN THE SERVICE TOGETHER, EXCEPT HE COULD SING AND I COULD CHASE WOMEN, SO WE WENT OUR OWN WAY???? NOW HE IS GONE AND IM STILL CHASING, THAT IS CAR PARTS IM TALKING ABOUT?????

Well Donald, It is better to have loved and lived, even in Lubbock , Texas than to have loved a lot and to be burried in Graceland for 25 years. Right?
I got Lubbock , Texas in my rear view mirror, and I am headed for the Promised Land of Milk and Honey, where Fruits not only grows on trees....but walks the streets and where you can pick gold nuggets up off the ground! Yeah!
Heck! you ever heard of Wacky Macky Davisy?

heck yes mr mack, they run him out of town years ago. now alls we got is macky wackie and the original junkyard hound dog, elvis presley look alike. actually the dog does resemble elvis, from about two blocks away????

Hey Macky Wackey! So, where are ya headed.......Alasker????

Well, JunkYardDog, just might head over to Roswell and go thru the rehab to get converted to "another being than being a Texican" I think it is kinda like being abducted and taken into Cyberspace....I went once but it didn't take, a Chicken Fried Steak and some Bar-b-Qued Armadillo and I back-slid. My family all sang "The Eyes of Texas are upon you!"...., and I was BACK....

Yep, when ya are one of them there Texicans ya just can't get outta Texas no matter what you do. You are always sent back!

WELL SAID, JUNKYARD DOG, THE ONLY WAY FOR YOUS TO GEET OUT OF TAXAS IS IN A CHEVROLET, NOW WEES KNOW WHY WACKIE MACKIE LIKES CHEVROLET SO MUCH, I THINK HE PROBABLY GAVE UP ON RESTORING EDSELS?????

I heard that old Macky Wacky's car has a bungee cord hooked to the bumper and every time that he passes over the Texas state line to get out of Texas, the bungee cord pulls him back inside of Texas. Maybe he should get a longer bungee cord??

JunkYardDog the I found that the only way I can get the Chevrolet to go is to tell her (Klinkerbelle) that The air in N.Mexico is almost as good as Texas and Illinois air, But she just lets me get the front two tires out of state. We had a ceremony and now shw is officially a Texas car

Macky Wacky! Did ya stick your head out the window when the front half of the car went over the state line so that you could see how great the rest of us in the USA live?

JunkYardDog, yes I stuck my head out the winder and I saw! And I felt so sorry for the rest of the world that ain't got to see Texas that I had tears as big as horse ......... in my eyes oh, well you know what I mean!..........

Cool! But one thing.......you were looking out of the rear window therefore you were looking back at Texas! Ya!

Back winder? them doggies don't let me look out no "sissy" back winder, they want the flowery curtains to be closed and the tasseled shade to be pulled when we are taking a ride.

That's only in Texas!!

HEY JUNKYARD DOG, I THINK IF WACKIE MACKY PUT A COUPLE OF TEXAS BUZZARD WINGS ON HIS CHEVY, HE WOULD BE A BIG HIT AT THE ZOO, WHATA YOU SAY ABOUT THAT?

You bet! But, the folks visiting the zoo wouldn't be able to tell Macky Wacky from the car.....since they kinda sorta look a like!

HEY JUNKYARD DOG, WE SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR MACKIE WACKIE, HE MUST FEEL SUCH ALONE IN THE LONE STAR STATE, WHATA YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

My Mom and Dad took me to the Saint Louis Mo. zoo when I was a little tyke and I liked it so much they wanted to leave me! But my grandma (she lived in Mo.) made them take me back to Texas!
Donald and JunkYardDog , you don't need to worry about being lonely in Texas, I think if we can clean you all up and get you all in some proper attire you and your old cars would feel right at home in Texas, Well maybe somewhere in Texas!
Don't you think maybe ,Chipper?

Hey Macky Wacky.....we will send Ray down your way to check out your '28 Chevy, the car shows in the area and Texas in general and if he likes what he sees, then maybe we might pay you a visit. Wait a minute.......on second thought.............NA!

What are you trying to do to Ray have him flown back to the left coast in a white wrap-around jacket!
I don't look at it myself without a pair of rose colored welding goggles!

Oh man.......that's gotta be ugly!!!!

It is not lonely here in Texas. Geeze there are cows across the street, armadillos, possums, and raccoons in the yard. Minnesota state birds flying all over the place. Deer and hogs roaming the woods. There are even a couple of houses that we can see the lights from at night. We visit with our neighbors at the mailbox.

It sure beats the heck out of feeling you need to bless the neighbor when he sneezes, or have his dog mess in your yard when out for a walk or excuse yourself when you pass gas. I can even skinny dip in my own pool without worrying about embarrassing anyone, me or the neighbors.

Besides if you feel lonely just sign-in to this chat page.

No need to send Ray or anyone else. We already have too many people moving here. I think half of silicone valley has moved to Austin and really screwed it up. Traffic jams are as bad as the 405 on Friday afternoon.

But if any of you decide to come on down, you will find out what Southern Hospitality really means.

Don't load the shotgun yet Mack. But keep your ear to the ground. If you hear unbalanced wheels, rusty, rattling bodies, or overloaded, unshod goats, blow the bugle the bell. The militia will be ready.

Okie doakie, yes sir, You got any spare 12 Ga. 00, I used my last on the CNN crew passing thru on their way to Crawford. I don't thank they ever heard a 12 Ga. fired out of a Chevrolet pickup winder before!

Hey Chipper Dipper! You skinny dip in your pool? Man.......that's gotta be ugly!!!! ha ha!

HEY JUNKYARD DOG, I WONDER IF CHIPPER DIPPER, IS REFERRING TO A CESS POOL WHEN HE GOES SKINNY DIPPING,

Donald,

I was going to say something Nasty and BAD about the rich folks in Washington State having two diveing boards on the cesspool,....... but I am not going to.......I am trying to be nicer and turn over a new leaf!

Hum.....that's interesting. I don't know about the wild women thing....but.....Elvira is about as wild as they come. And you can take that to the bank from this Junkyard Dog!!!
