Here are a couple of accessories that I've added to my 29 Tudor.
What do you have?

i see you have not added whitewalls yet! I would have thought that would have been first. Wayne

I have added a Boyce Red-Ball motometer on the steering column the blue swirl gear shift knob and the car came with the neat cowl vents...not that one needs more air in a roadster!

Fun Subject... Are you looking for 'vintage' or 'modern' accessories? I have a few of both.

Two of the vintage accessories I have are a "Fire-Stop" fire extinguisher from the 30's.

and a spotlight.

Not sure if this counts as an accessory but my shift knob I got from my Grandmother ~50 years ago...

I like the bud vase accessory.

Hard to call it an accessory but two Harbor Fright rubber wheel chocks that sit on my bumpers... With my car being a "Black Hole" in color they don't stick out that much.

I have them on the outside as the smell beyond what I can stand...

The smell of "China Freight" rubber is the worst, isn't it? I carry my HF wheel chock (only have one) in my tool box on the front of the car.

My 400 came with 31 accessories/additions when I bought her. It would take too long to post pics of them all. I don't want to take up all the bytes on the server so I'll leave it at just the number 31.

I was wondering about that. I thought they might be rubber baby buggy bumpers.

To chock the wheels

Neil Mylar LakewoodCA · 04-14-2016, 07:44 PM

Barbara,
Can you list the 31 accessories?
If you don't want to post pictures of them all, can you post some? We would love to see them.
Regards, Neil

How often do you think you would use them ? I have never needed them out on the road!

An aftermarket version of the Packard "Goddess of Speed" mounted on my '29 roadster. It is another eBay find from a few years ago. The original Packard goddess is more detailed, but does not have the extra set of wings coming off the wheel. I like mine better!

"Uphold 18th Amendment" is an NOS tag topper from back in the day. I'm an old hippy and when people see this tag and make a comment about it. I tell them it is better to keep the booze illegal and the pot legal like it was back then.

The Moto-Meter is an unrestored original with repop face plates.
