Summershandy Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 That's the best I can describe it. I saw an old pontiac that had what looked like a chrome clip on scoop looking thing on his front door quarter glass. I assumed it was to aid with air flow when glass was open. I can't for the life of me find a picture and have tried every keyword I could. This didn't look original. If someone has one or can get me better wording I'd appreciate it. I'm interested. Thanks!

Dave Henderson Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Yes you nailed it, it's an aftermarket air deflector. They are pictured in an early '60's Warshawsky & Co. catalog, priced 17 cents, 37 cents and 69 cents. My camera isn't cooperating at the moment.

Like these? They're called Breezies (not to be confused with brassieres of the same name ?) - they're also available in several different colors of translucent plastic. Search eBay for "Breezies deflector" (without quotes) - lots of them there for $10 - $15 per pair.

8E45E Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've also seen those in difference colored see-thru plastic besides the chrome ones. Of course, they never stood up as well as the chrome versions. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most antique cars aren't driven much so the plastic should last a while, and they're cheap enough one can afford to replace them when they wear out.

They will add to the 'cool factor' at an all-make car show. For example, I know some who drive otherwise original cars with modern (and safer) radials mounted on mag wheels, but have a second set of the original style bias-plies on the original wheels & hubcaps in the garage for serious car shows where originality counts.

Dunno about that particular pair but I'd guess Breezies in general go back at least as far as your car. Like 8E45E says, they're easy enough to take off if you want to go back to original.

Summershandy Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Rats! Looks like they're gone already. At least the new ones are close replicas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
