    I just picked up a 1939 Ford Tudor Standard. It has these headlights...

    At first I thought they were 1940 Ford lights, but now Im not sure. Any ideas?

    Put me down as no.4. I've got a set hanging on the wall I took off a '39 I bought and parted out.

    x5....those things were a mainstay in the Whitney and Warshawshky catalog for years. Assume they're still made, but with the advent of the 'updated it, but keep it stock-looking' movement, the originals with modern guts are much more popular now.

  9. Electroline was the leading manufacturer of aftermarket sealed beam conversions, but there were a number of other brands as well. Those look like Electrolines on your car.
