Too cheesey for a 1955 400? Thoughts? And where and how many should be placed on such a land yacht?

Oh no, you need one behind each wheel and to be really cool, a couple attached to the rocker panel just behind the door.
Several short foxtails attached to the rear feelers would look  too

I have two, behind the front wheels. I don't like them. Every time I have to explain (Dutch) people what those things are, hanging out of my car...

U guys gotta' be joking. They're supposed to go to the FRONT of the front wheels.
Of what possible use could they ever have behind the wheel???

I dunno about you, but I generally BACK into a parallel parking spot. Seems to me that you would want the feelers to the REAR of the wheels, for FIRST contact.

Kevin AZ. While u're insattling the feelers add a couple of static straps to the frame just under the trunk, a KY wonder mud flap ... More as i think of them.
My preference are the squirrel tails, fox tails and coon tails. Especial squirrel tail on any forward radio antenna.

Don't forget a tiger tail hanging out from under the gas filler door, courtesy of Esso.
This could get pretty deep.

And the plastic neon orange horse shoes that stick onto the rear window (Sinclair or City Service gasloing??)
For Packards1 and Mr PB a bottle of Uncle Jakes jelly.

I remember orange plastic horseshoes (paired) on rear bumpers back in the '60s, but they were from Gulf Oil, which was HQed in Pittsburgh (before they merged with Chevron a few decades ago). I still have a set somewhere, but the peel-n-stick adhesive is shot.
Also seem to recall a small orange ball styled to resemble the "Union 76" station sign for the top of the car radio antenna.
