source of NOS / reproduction exhaust deflector, '40 La Salle series 50?

Just what the subject line says.  Somehow mine is missing.  Thanks.


(Also looking for a spare gas cap, same car; ideally the same source would have them both but not an absolute necessity.)

Are you looking for the exhaust pipe tip? If so, AllCads has them. It is porcelainized.

[John Barry [CLC17027]]

The item I have in mind is chrome plated and fits over the end of the cylindrical tailpipe, with a shape very roughly like an upholstery attachment for a vacuum cleaner.  It isn't porcelainized as far as I know.

You can find repops on ebay, some with the Caddy crest on it;

As Barry said the correct one is porcelain not chrome.  Chrome ones can be had anywhere.

John, I have seen the ones you were thinking about, and while they are pretty, they are not correct. Good luck. BW.

I stand corrected: since my '40 had the chrome variety on it when I bought it, I assumed it was correct.  Thanks.
