I did! Wow, those jumped right off the screen at me... it's such a 70s thing! I guess that there are enough one way streets in this city (San Diego) that the owner wanted to have the noise makers for the driver's side too.., I can say from personal experience, that I'm damn frustrated that we have to park so damn close to the curb, for a variety of reasons, but the lack of a less ugly curb feeler option, makes it up to side mirrors and guess work, and I've damaged most of the rims on most of the cars I've had through the decades. Why the hell curbs can't have an angle away from the street, not enough to make the ramps - but enough to let your tire touch them, but not the rim/trim ring/ or hub cap? Or they could be shorter! Grrrrr! But a cool photo from 1970.
Great car. Notice the "curb feelers"? Don't know why you would need them on the drivers side though!
