Cool Stocking Stuffers for Classic Car Owners

Tuesday December 16, 2008
Christmas is just around the corner and if your family is looking for some last minute goodies to stuff in your “car crazy” stocking, we’ve got some ideas you can pass on to them. We can only hope that our family reads this list.
Coffee Cup Gadget Charger – This is very innovative charger is shaped like a coffee cup that plugs it into your cigarette lighter and sits in your cup holder. It converts the DC power from your vehicle into two 120-volt AC outlets and a USB port.

Gliptone Liquid Leather Scuff Master Kit - Many older vintage and classic cars have leather seats or trim that will age and need to be freshened or restored. We use to this leather touch-up dye to cover unsightly marks and worn spots.

Recovery Straps & Tow Straps - Hopefully your classic will never have to be towed, but this might be a helpful product to have the day your fellow classic car owner fails to start their engine.

Adam's Detail Spray - There aren’t a shortage of good detailing sprays on the market which can be used as a waterless car wash, a clay bar lubricant, or to enhance the depth and clarity of paint, chrome, plastic, aluminum, and glass. We just happen to like the Adam’s product line.

Meguiars Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum Polish - We were given a tin of Meguiar’s Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum Polish by Barry Mequiar to review. He said that we would like the product and he was right. We find the product works well on all our auto’s bright work, as well as our copper and brass bits around the house.

Microfiber Cleaning Cloths – If you own a classic car, you can never have enough cleaning cloths. Microfiber is a great cleaning material that can be used without using detergents on your cars surface.

Digital Tire Gauge - Properly inflated tires can help save gas and ensure better handling from your automobile. Checking tire air pressure is especially important for your classic that may not be driven on a daily basis.

Now you just have to make sure that you have a stocking big enough to hold all this great stuff.

Happy Shopping!

Thak you for your comment, shirts and hats with your favorite marque are good stocking stuffers. We did cover those types of gifts in our blog “Classic Car Christmas Gift Shopping” last week. Here’s the link:
