Technical What Headlights are These?

Discussion in 'Traditional Hot Rods' started by MannyK, Sep 29, 2013.

  1. Simple question. What are they? I think they are Packards, but what year?
    I wasn't quite sure where to post this... hope here is good.

  2. Look like 1937 Packards. HRP
     
  3. I searched 37 Packards. they have the same shape, but they dont have the eyebrow looking piece at the front. is that a add on?
     
  4. the main reason i like them is because of the eyebrow like part.
     

  5. Could that be a 55 Cadillac eyebrow.

    HRP is correct.. 1937 small Packard headlights.. That was my old sedan and the headlights didn't have any rings and I added those.. They are after market rings from the 50's.. That was awhile ago, sorta my RR phase.. That sedan is now in the Netherlands...
     
  7. Thanks! I love the look of those lights! especially the eyebrow part. It would be hell to find a pair of those headlights and a pair of rings like that. Do you know what brand the rings were?

    Im kinda getting tired of seeing the same old King Bees and Guide headlights...

    I don't know the brand but were fairly popular in the 40's and 50's and I have seen them for sale at both swap meets and eBay...
     
  9. ^^ Thanks! Ill look for some!^^

    Does anybody know if Framedragger here on the HAMb is still making E and J headlights? I clicked on the website in his description and got a freaky japanese website...
     
  10. The e and j lights are like 1000 dollars. So if anybody has been in contact with him ask if he still makes them
