33Crazy Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Has anyone seen this exhaust deflector. Is it real or someones good idea? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I have seen that type, but not with a logo. I bought an item that was supposed to be a Dodge Brothers watch fob. Got it in the mail and found that the logo was glued on with silicone glue and fell right off. Turns out, the guy I got it from is selling them on a popular online auction site. The logos are cheap items glued to almost anything you can imagine and sold as "originals". I don't think the Plymouth logo was originally offered on the deflectors.

33Crazy Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks Keiser31, I was concerned about that and thought this would be a good place to find out. Maybe I'll find one at Hershey on Oct. I need a bunch of 33 4dr PD parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 My exhaust deflectors have the V8 stamped in the stainless, from the inside so the V8 is raised. I guess I could glue on a Ford oval too, but doubt it would last long. (Kind of like a temporary tattoo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 You could probably attach one of those with that 2 part epoxy body adhesive they make and that would hold. Or just get a tie tac and pin it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I recall that someone was selling numerous exhaust defectors on ebay 10 to 15 years ago. They were all identical except for the applied emblem which signified the different makes. They looked nice enough and, as I recall, they didn't stress anything about their being original or authentic. I'm sure that this was one of that type.

hidden_hunter Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 there is a bunch of caddy ones on ebay that have been floating around for ages that I think they did claim were original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Similar item was sold by a MoPar parts dealer back in the 1990s. He also had keychains with the metal emblem. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33Crazy Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks everyone! Very interesting info. What a history. My wife says it looks like an exadurated snoze...the way she wrinkled her nose I figured she no like, ha. Maybe it is to hokey...still on the fence.

mike6024 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 That individual has a ton of such items for sale. Name used is "nosclassicparts" for NOS -classic parts, but it should be "neoclassicparts" for neo or new classic parts. Rare, rare, rare items, until you buy some and they make more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It appears to be a typical exhaust pipe deflector made to dress up the unsightly rusty exhaust pipe, and prevent soot from staining your bumper. They made that type in the forties I believe. It would look good on a late 30s, 40s or early 50s Plymouth. I don't think I would use that style after 54. You got a nice accessory for your Plymouth, as long as you didn't pay too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 They are useful and don't look that bad. They dor dress up the crusty exhaust end if you don't have a nice new exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33Crazy Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 My 33 PD 4dr has new exhaust and would look funky. I did not buy because they are to pricey at $39 for me. I do want a tip but haven't decide what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billorn Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If you look around ebay their are alot of them and their all different prices. I bought a pair for $26 recently for my Olds and they look OK. Not totally original look but good enough for a driver and it does keep the black smoke off your chrome. Its better than a rusty old pipe anyway. I will say they look better and more authentic once their installed and the mounting tabs are bent under and bolted. Look around on ebay and see all the different prices but the cheapest I saw them was $26 for two. Ive also seen about $17 for one but why not keep a spare if you only need one? Dont bother with the stuck-on emblem ones like this tho. I cant see how those would stay in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD in KC Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Packard was offering these exhaust extensions in their 1939, 46, 48, 50 accessory brochures but they were plain Jane logo-less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33Crazy Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 The plymouth logo was what intrigued me. I guess a could find some metal Plymouth badges and get plain deflectors and make my own. Something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
