VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Radios, Tools, Accessories Accessary exhaust extenion

I have seen very few in use..Is this because of there appearence??

CC,

What did it look like?

Charlie

Here it is

CC,

As to question, well, yeah, I suppose. You can take pleasure in knowing that they are not as quite as ugly as the one for 41.

I kind of like the regular old round chrome extension that is available in almost any auto parts store. Still, If i had a nice, as you do, 47/48 I would want a 47 one on it as I do for the 41 project.

I'd go for it.

Charlie I have one of these ugly ducklings and can not bare to leave it on

So their disappearance is due to their appearance? ;-)

Maybe few were sold because they just do not fit the look of the car

Who has this installed on their car???Come on don't be shy

Bruce, I have looked over the accessories list many times. I do not see a exhaust extension listed.

Are you sure it is an "official" item.

Just asking!

Accessories

He shows on in the original box with the Chevy logo in his second post. I bet the low riders would love it. I've seen worse looking tips.

See Pictorial History page 129

The pic I posted is from Johnny's site 1948 Chevy.com

Tiny, yes I saw the picture with the 2 different extensions. Also, does not indicate for '48 anywhere on the box that I can see.

I did not find it on the acc. list so I was just wondering.

Now, thanks to the "book" page 129, it is shown, very clearly.

Here's what it looks like installed...Ugly

I dunno, it kind of looks like you ran over a bear and it's trying to crawl out from under the car.

The evelution of exhaust systems have gone from not wanting to see the tip of the exhaust pipe to now in the modern day, a must. Do you notice all the exhaust openings in todays cars? Maybe, it's a fad thing. Don't know.

Tiny, I just knew CC's tip reminded me of something. You hit the nail on the head. Did too. I think he should leave it on. Maybe install a few reflectors on it. What do you think?

Charlie

It will stay in the archives do below the rear window blinds

I`m sure them lowriders would love to have an original exhaust tip, along with any rear window shades anyone doesn`t want

I will be going to a low rider meet in august and will need to clamp the pipe on for that event...I will bet I get tons of offers to buy the Aero?

GET YOUR ACCESSORIES ON!
accessories is just part of the lowrider culture, some guys focus just on the GM accessoeries, some on anything and everything that was sold during that time period. I prefer the factory GM accessory.
all my cars are accessorized, from my 38/39 to 59`s
and the next one is a 35 and 36 convert.
fully restored cars, with factory accessories is what
CALIF IS ALL ABOUT

Yah the guy that invited me to the show said he was the accessory king,and yes he knew his stuff when talking the Aerosedan

that`s funny, i know a few guys that are ACCESSORY KINGS OVER HERE.

I HAVE SEEN DISPLAY CASES WORTH over 6 FIGURES. and that`s not counting the cars they have.

just like in any hobby, you have the guys that compete for the most, and the best

Oh, it is a bear...Some of the chrome just rubbed off on his attempt to get out from undernieth... Now he/she is now a black bear...Stand clear for a while and DON'T park in the garage for awhile...Reminds me of the story about a buddy who shot a turkey and put it in the camper shell of his truck, only to find it wasn't really dead after all...Lucky the camper shell is still in one piece...

Sure, I've seen them, but not that one...But, you have the box, so...Russel, I thought you had some type of "tip" on your'n ?...

I dig the bear claw, but my wife has vetoed any exhaust extensions or fender skirts on our car. "Its not that kinda car".



I'd wear yours proudly Kevin.

I dought to many low riders have the bear claw,it would get smashed when the air shocks get activated

I will say though,you have to admire thier passion for the sport
