Default What cool accessories/add-ons are out there

I'm picking up a 36 Club Cab soon and I love to pick up those cool add ons. What accessories are out there (Repop/OG)?

Curb feelers? Blue dot tail lenses. The list goes on and on.

While I personally am not enamored with add-on gee-gaws, at least stay away from skulls, chains, and a mailbox for an air cleaner.

A radio antenna with a coon-tail is marginally acceptable.

E brake extension is super cool. Especially if you match that knob with the one on the stick.

period correct license plate toppers are a favorite of mine. Not too out of place, and there are some really cool ones out there if you are willing to open your wallet

This is for a Chevy/GM product, but it gives you the gist. Goes on top of the e brake lever to make it easier to reach.

I can see that you need plenty of information to learn about 1935-36 Fords so why not get a copy of the book produced by THE EARLY FORD V8 CLUB OF AMERICA called 1935 -36 Ford Book by Don Rogers. Its got all you ever wanted to know inside and then some. Regards, Kevin.

There is also "more is just more". In other words, not necessarily a good thing, just "more".
Your car is a very well styled car in some folks eyes. Why garbage it up?

I have 2 sets of accessory closed car wind wings that are for a 36. They are different manufacturers, but both fit the 36 closed car window profile.
A few different aftermarket hood ornament add ons too.
Available as well

You can always tell a Newbie by the trinkets on his car. I used to have a Foxtail, a Tiger in the tank, a Wolf Whistle, and a Bermuda Bell. Sorry as hell I drilled the floor for the Bermuda Bell. They're all wall hangers now.
