Proxel advertise car parking sensors - model EPS-DUAL 4.0 . I have been advised that the parking sensors can be used on steel bumper bars - but you need to completely insulate the metal bumper from the vehicle body by using a combination of "top hat" and/or plain PLASTIC OR RUBBER washers.

Has anyone used the product?

Thanks

Curb feelers?

That's what I thought when I first saw the heading

Most modern cars have a reverse parking sensor; when you reverse you get a beep, beep, beep when something is in your way.

What is a solution for our "older cars" like my 1961 Plymouth Valiant?

Thanks.

I use SNSS. Swivel Neck Sight System.

Learning to drive.

More needless BS, much of the reason I prefer older cars in the first place. We got along without these things just fine for many years. I like the K I S S principle

Agreed.

You can probably get a cheap back up video system, then you would have actual video.

Not to beat a dead horse, BUT...

[*Dead Horse Beating Commences*]

When I was a child, well before I was old enough to "learn to drive," I remember riding with my mother in the '67 Fairlane wagon.
She did something, slipped between two stopped cars or something, and I asked how she knew that the car would fit.
She said that in order to drive you needed to have judgement.
I asked what "judgement" was.
She said that it was knowing how big the car you were driving was and being able to judge speeds and distances well enough to know whether something that size would fit there. She said that when you learn to drive, you learn judgement.
She also said that some people have no judgement, and should never be driving.

I have remembered that conversation for more than half a century. It sums up the answer to this question.

I can drive and parallel park anything up to a 27-foot box truck (never tried to drive a tractor-trailer) because whatever I'm driving, I walk around first to see how big it is, and I adjust my mirrors properly.
I disable the back-up sensors on any car I'm driving because they annoy me, and they are completely unnecessary.

If you do not know where your car begins and ends, you shouldn't be driving.

Let's not be too hard on anyone here. Some people like new "gadgets" and electronics. I personally don't care for most of them. I hate my "new" cars electric door locks, automatic locks, lights that stay on after turning off the key, back up beepers ....etc. But just because I don't want them, and if someone else likes them, more power to them. The OP can likely get something he wants to help him park / back up, and I''m sure he won't be the only one. More power to him. At least he is keeping a 65 year old car going!

Hey, if you WANT them, have at it! It's all about enjoying your car.

Same as any of a thousand variations of lights, stereos, instruments, hot-rod stuff, suspension modifications, etc.

But if you NEED them, on ANY car, honestly, you need to have a frank talk with yourself.

- Eric

I thought talking to yourself was the 1st sign of madness!

Second sign.

Messing with old cars is the first sign.
