Re: [FWDLK] Speakin of exhaust deflectors...



Wow; I never considered why 59+ Dodges didn't have exhaust deflectors,
(besides their vulnerability to driveway pads and exhaust corrosion!)
because they really WORK in keeping the rear of the cars clean!

They act as a sacrificial-element, like a sort of  'fusible link',
because they are so (relatively) easy to replace, & CHEAP (NOS cost :
$3.57, in 1957-dollars; like about $20bux, now) , back-then!

Do 59 Dodges (still) have the mounting-holes, for the exhaust
deflectors, on them, as they share the same bumpers (essentially) as
the 57-58'ers?

Tail pipes 'should' point downward, and beyound the reach of the bumper.
If you smell fumes, you may have a void, or 2, in the trunk area.
