It scares me that I'm old enough to remember seeing those things all the time on cars (but I don't remember the "egg beater" style).

Probably shouldn't drive a C4 if those are needed. Retro '70's :) :) :)

:iagree:
Plus if you look at the years and models he says it'll fit, they are 1940-1970. NO C4!

Re: Where would these mount?? (oldace84)
Do you remember the clearance rods that mounted on the headlights of some of the early 50's cars?? It was a combination of metal and plastic - had a plastic tip that glowed from the headlight illumination! Talk about your hi-tec!
Oh, btw - for those who actually thougth I even considered putting these on a C4... :crazy:

:lol: I've only seen them on big conversion vans for decripit old blind folks.
I think you have to gold plate them before mounting them on a vette.
On second thought, I'd prefer curb rash on my chrome y2ks! I hope I didn't jinx myself... :leaving:

Re: Where would these mount?? (linkschamp)
On a C4 you mount them on top of the roof, so you can hear how close you are to the bottom of a tractor-trailer as you pass under it, ala Fast and Furious.

Re: Where would these mount?? (shansen)
In all seriousness, I can see where these would be useful to a person that was restoring a 50's era car
