T-Bone Model A Heater?

[kressej]

Decided I didn't want to change my exhaust manifold, so I bought a T-Bone brand heater on Ebay. It even comes with a small watering can at the firewall to improve humidity. Anyone seen one of these? This one is in the key of A, of course....

Ok, no matter what I do, the photo is upside down...

Whoa At first I thought that was heck of a air horn. Then I saw the can and figured it out. That ought to keep you warm.

Interesting. Does it have "Conn" or "Giardinelli" stamped on the trumpet?

You could even do a "Dizzy Gillespie" for those warm summer months.

Small watering can at the fire wall to provide humidity. Even trying to use recirculate in my modern car on a very cold day results in fogged up windows. I can only imagine actually adding water to the heat and not having defrosters!

I'm guessing that thing provides just enough heat to keep one of the passengers feet slightly above freezing?

I agree with MrTube. The thing looks totally useless. It's not picking up any heat and it's way too restricted by the small diameter of the pipe to have much air flow.

C'mon guys. It's a joke. And a pretty good one!

Other than being another rattle under the bonnet, looks to me like it would work! ;-)

 

[MrTube]

So wait, is it a joke, or was it an actual product?

It's a joke heater and it works fairly well. Firewall keeps it reasonably warm too!
