I was driving my 68 Catalina cross country from Mississippi to Santa
Barbara CA to get a new front clip, and I took a wrong turn somewhere
in the desert southwest near a big lake, and there were a TON of
bikers. One of them had a hat or a "do-rag" or whatever on and it came
off, and I drove over it.

My older sister yells out the window. "HE RAN OVER MAD DOG'S HAT!"

Road tripping with crazy people...

If I recall, the original purpose was to minimize the smell
of the chemicals that were used to straighten (conk) the
extremely curly hair of the folks doing the conking.

You win the quiz!  Also to keep the compund - quite corrosive - out of the eyes and off the neck skin.
As Winnah and New Champeen, you may choose - offered are the Cut Glass Flyswatter or the Furlined Syrup Pitcher.
