Silliest Thing You Ever Put On Your Mopar ?
I put four chrome mini-splash guards on my parent's new '71 Road Runner. They were too small to prevent any mud or rock chips. (Those displayed in photo #1 look a little larger than the ones I remember).
I also put on some "chrome" rear shock absorbers. I still remember the advertisement claiming they would run "cooler" because the chrome would transfer the heat from the oil more efficiently.
Then I tried the "fire injector" spark plugs, which had all kinds of claims, including the "fact" that the curb idle speed would increase because of more complete combustion. My experience was to find that was a bold-faced lie. (see photo #2)
The three aforementioned purchases were most probably made from the J.C.Whitney auto accessory catalog.
