There are few GM accessories that are more unusual and rare than this item that was seen at a recent truck show. It was offered by GMC dealers in 1958 and 1959.
The item is an "Ash Remover" for the smoking driver and his passenger. With a touch of a small lever, the ashes on a cigarette or cigar is instantly removed from the cab. A rubber vacuum line from the engine manifold pulls the ashes to a small glass jar on the engine side of the firewall Quite a novelty on trucks that were usually bought for work.
Was it worth an extra price over a stock ash tray? Probably not but it appears some found owners. At this time at least two are known to exist.
Even when other "Ash Removers" are seen, they will not be recognized if they have lost their original box. Very few will know what these parts are made to fit.
