Has anyone ever seen a contraption like this before on a LaSalle?

Not mine but I bet it works.....

Awesome post. thanks. I have never seen something like this. Seller does not give a width. Several others like this from the era on ebay. I think prices for all are steep because nobody drives their prewar collector car in the cold anyway. Garage art. Also I wonder if this gadget is even useful for our Cads and Lasalles that have shutters already. How would you mount that without scratching the paint or the chrome?

Thats cheap for that front,try and buy one for a 1932 ford,they go for 10,000.00     Not really a practical item,have a hard enough time keeping these old cars cool without adding more problems,would look nice displayed beside the car though. harveyb
