Relic Shocks

I was surprised to find a set of Sears brand air shocks on my 1970 Olds 442.

I replaced the rear springs and shocks today and had an interesting find. Sears brand shocks from most likely the 70's. I knew it had air shocks but I didn't expect to find these.

I might have to hang them up on the wall next to some old signs and oil cans I have.

Deja vu. I installed a set of those on my car in high school, '79-'80 timeframe.
