They're illegal here in WA but I still see them on older Hot Rods and Harleys.

Cops seem to ignore them on those vehicles but on a new C6, I think it would be a ticket for sure.

Too cool for school.

My dad had a pair of those curb sensors on his '46 Chrysler Imperial. A good thing for those big white walled tires.
