My son asked about curb feelers just yesterday. I tried to explain, but I just got the deer in headlights look.

Ours came with a nifty trailer hitch, bolted to the rear bumpers, but it was at such an angle, I don`t know how it could`ve even been used!

My Dad had a '73 Chevy Pickup without AC. He had one of these in the truck.



Now I have a 1972 Corvette with no AC (and live in Vegas!), maybe Dad was on to something . . .
