    sealed beam conversions for a 39 nash, is my guess.

    These conversions were very common in the late 40s-early 50s. 1940 was the first year of sealed beam headlights.
     
  3. Arrow made aftermarket stuff. I'm thinking this may be a sealed beam conversion for another car like a 37-39 Ford poorly added to the Nash ( which had squarish lights!)

    Beat me Jim!

    Thanks i thought they looked a little fordish.
     
  6. Agreed. They are aftermarket sealed beam conversions for '37-'39 Fords. Arrow and Electroline were the two leading manufacturers of these conversion kits, which were sold through auto parts stores and mail order houses such as J. C. Whitney, Sears, and Montgomery Ward. Someone might want them for a '50s- style '37-'39 Ford.
