What the heck

We just completed a five day run in TN with about thirty cars. Had a great time.
One of the car owners, in his 80’s, needed some help with a repair. Several of us jumped in and low and behold, I was the guy on my back under the car looking up.
Under the driver side splash apron was a clear plastic tube. After wiping it down, it wound up being the remnants of a neon under car lamp, like the kids put on. When I asked the owner, who we’ve known for years, about the lamp, his answer was not very precise and his face was rather red. Pretty much end of inquiry.
You just don’t know what the heck you’re gonna find under a T!😃

I just glad you didn't find any kind of hidden:
water pump
L.E.D. headlight bulbs
Alternator
Marvelous Mystery Oil Dispenser
Disc Brakes......... :D

So was it a light kit or just the tube used as a pee funnel? Seriously, that was my first thought.

Yep. Sounds like a good, ole' fashioned relief tube to me. I'm willing to bet the old guy spent some time in the Air Force.
