It looks okay.
I haven't ever seen one on a C-body before, but I have seen aluminum, truck & van style running boards on an M-body!
At first glance I thought they were side pipes :laughing9: until I got closer and got a better look.

These were the two most popular items in retiree's cars over here in the late 60s/70s
Nodding dog and the toilet paper cover. No idea if this "trend" was exported.

Rest area handy essentials. Anybody who's regularly on the road carries a couple.
Crochet covers? Yah. Over the top stupid.

In Germany it used to be strictly toilet paper. Not too many toilets along the Autobahn and country roads in the old days, but lots of woods and nature.

LOL! I know exactly what you mean. When I was there in 1970's through the early 1990's the rest stops on the Autobahn are similar to the ones on our Turnpikes......except no restaurants or bathrooms. The grassy area at the rest stop was just covered with human sh*t. Has that changed any???

Geez... I do about 40-50K yearly looking at the world through a windshield and I don't carry toilet paper. Is my area more civilized or my ..... ummm... personal needs less demanding?

Note clever Del Reeves song line in above sentence.

Now we have the toilets, but they're usually full of sht you voluntaraly go back in the woods, at least the ones that are unguarded just for parking and picnic without any shops around. Also popular ad boards for the gay scene.

We had a running joke in Iraq.........

Be a man and use your hand!

I do carry paper towels! Never used them for that purpose, but they are there.

I'd use both my hands, Bob to have these traffic conditions back. :laughing4:

I can imagine the congestion these days on the Autobahns. I read articles from time to time where the unlimited speed limits are being taken away a little at a time here and there.

That didn't originate in Iraq. Trust me!

Hmm the paper towel I have in my truck is about as good as the toilet paper in public washrooms and government buildings................you guys know the stuff.............you need half the roll to keep from poking through.
