Vintage HOT-ROD bicycle exhaust / motor sound accessory manufactured by Hot-Rod Co., Ltd., 210 West 17th Street, Los Angeles, California.
Fantastic old bicycle novelty accessory designed to give a bicycle the sound of a light motor. The original box includes illustrated mounting instructions showing the spoke-operated mechanism and exhaust unit installation.
Includes the aluminum exhaust unit, toothed spoke-drive assembly, mounting hardware and original HOT-ROD display box as pictured.
Appears unused old stock with light storage/age wear. The exhaust body remains extremely clean, while the original box shows expected edge and shelf wear from long-term storage.
