RE: Pith helmets After the war, So Cal had many War Surplus stores that were frequented by hot rodders looking for cheap things they could adapt to their use. Belly tanks, helmets, goggles, overalls, gloves, a warm bomber jacket to wear in the roadster, oil tanks, instruments, etc. were among the treasures you could find. Pith helmets were in abundance and cheap. Hot rodders like cheap.
