I remember the catfish whiskers that were used to help people park, but
not
the thing you mention s. I was very young then LOL.



Yeah. Curb feelers. I was a kid in the 60s, and some people had them. I
don't think they often lasted past the first couple of snowstorms. A
related accessory was the headlight indicator. A plastic rod was somehow
attached to the side of each headlight and would light up with the
headlights. I suppose this would inform the alert driver his headlight had
burned out. That is, if it somehow escaped his attention that he had one
bright spot ahead of the car, where he used to have two. For whatever
reason, I seem to remember curb feelers and headlight indicators as being
florescent pink back then. I never felt inclined to buy either accessory.
Or even find out if they were still available.
