jerry vittitoe Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Seen that you had one at one time a 1932 center ashtray. My brother has a 32 and we been looking for 2 years trying to find one. Just wondering if you had one or knew where he could fine one.

Then you would not need the ashtray. Edited March 24, 2018 by Joe in Canada (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry vittitoe Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 He don't smoke its just to put in the hole in the center of the dash,it look better than a hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 A lot of the ashtrays were small, but many were hooked up to the intake manifold of the automobile, so the ashes got sucked out and passed through the engine. The butts would just get thrown out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 They were an accessory, don't know if one ever came from the factory. They were available in the 1930's, here's one from the 1950's..... http://www.rodauthority.com/news/pomona-swap-meet-find-flame-outs-vacuum-ashtray-from-1957/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I had visions of it going directly into the intake manifold. Some one unwittingly dumping sand out of their shoe into the ash tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one on a car, but it was long ago and I can't remember the details, I'm talking in the 1960's on a 1930's car..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
