Gene thinks the 41 foot scrappers are the ugliest accessory for 41.

What do you think is the ugliest accessory for any given year up to ..say 41, or so?

I think wash-boards are the ugliest for 41.

What say yee?

BTW: Fultons don't count. It is accepted that they would win "hands down." No contest there.

FENDER SKIRTS.....On any car with round wheel openings.
Also big Fuzzy Dice in ANY CAR......ED

My reward goes to sun visors ( Fultons ) they are handy but they change the great lines of all Chevys.

Yes, definately the ugly Fulton!

Swamp Coolers!!! HIDIOUS

That reminded me...back when I was a boy , we called them "fruit stand" visors...lol I don't know why...We'd yell "Look...a fruit stand !" ...as a Fultonized vehicle would pass by...

I vote for that "over the top" radio antenna (can't remember the correct name) that I think was an option in 1937.

Do you mean the "Turret Top" Antenna?

That might be what they called it. It was a big thing that ran above the whole length of the top.
Yes, that's it. I just googled it.

Maybe there was a "Fruit" Driving the car!

Being's it's California...Anything's possible ! Ha Ha Ha

...Whoa...Hold on there...I resemble that remark ! ! !

....Wait a second...I don't even have a Fulton Visor ! Ah , Nuts...

Well Ken48 should we pull off our visors?And maybe while I'm at it I will rip off the wood,the fire does need stoking

Hey Chef.....I don't know about you,



but my visor stays right where it is....





Here we go again, Charlie

Your visor looks great to me!! Definitely leave it on the car!

I agree, they look great on late 40's cars. A lot of people must have thought so back then because there sure were a lot of them around!

The spot light stays too.
I would say the tail pipe extention is at the top of the list though

I'm going to leave the visor on my '41 too, but since we've got a picture up there to talk about (Ken's car), I'd like to ask about antennaes. My '41 has an antennae similar to Ken's, and I'd like to find one that will collapse further down, so that I don't have to deal with it when putting on or taking off the car cover. Does anyone have a source for an antennae that collapses down further?
Thanks,
Sid

6wheel,take the time to deal with the cover.The antennae in the pic is a NOS unit and I'm very careful with it.I lost the ball on the top and had to fabricate one.I did cut a hole in my cover and inserted a plastic groummet to slide around the anetnnae

How about those venetian blinds inside the rear window???

I could never figure out the purpose for the blinds.Are they used when you and your favorite girl are at the drive in movies??No need your chevy will be all fogged up any way

so that I don't have to deal with it when putting on or taking off the car cover.
Sid [/quote] California Car Covers sells covers for our cars custom made... you tell them about antennae , visors , peep mirrors , etc and they will accommodate...free shipping thru x-mas !

The Venetion Blinds ? That's in case your car is also your house !

Maybe a new cover would help with my antennae problem. The one I'm using on the '41 came with the car and is still in good condition. It has a hole w/ plastic around it for the antennae, but the cover doesn't fit very well around the mirrors antennae and hood ornament. I have California car covers on 3 other cars, and they do very well. The last one I bought was for my '31 coupe, and it has felt on the underside, which is really nice against the paint. The other reason I wanted to swap antennaes on the '41 was because this antennae was jammed up against the Fulton sun visor during shipment to me, and the paint on the visor was scratched (about 3 inches). I've touched it up, but I wanted to prevent a recurrance.
Thanks,
Sid

I would not be a happy camper !!!

No No No, the Blinds look SWEET!!!

OK Sarge........so when do you close the blinds?

They sure would have come in handy back in high school, parked down by the lake front! (kept those police spot lights from shinning in)

I really think it gives that PRIVATE closed in (LIMO LIKE)feel to the back seat area. kinda classey...

But then again im an accessory junkie. My 47s loaded. Its like a disease......

Oh, so you used to watch the submarine races too, huh???

My vote is for the gaudy bumper ends that wrap around the ends of the front and rear bumpers on the 51/52 and are standard on the Bel Air.
