    My buddy called me to say he found a set of LaFrance headlights at the local flea market and wanted to know if i wanted him to buy them for me.He is going to bring them over today.He said they even have the stands;but no bulbs!He ****ered the guy down to $20.00 for the pair,so the price was fair.

    If you're talking about the Electroline 2200 headlights, let me be the first to offer you ten times the money you paid for them. Then, make sure your buddy doesn't find out about it.

    Note to self: Next time I'm in Pictou, check out the local flea market. (And the bizarre thing is, I've been to Pictou.)

    they are electrolines alright,but the condition could be a little better.i may have to give Jim sibley a call.But now the early Canadian only Pontiac corvette style valve covers with staggered bolt holes that were only in production for part of one year may be more rare.

    Yikes...no kiddin! You might get a couple dollars on ebay for somebody trying to fix their set but realistically you have a half of an electroline headlight without bezels. There's no fixin the smashed one...they're pot metal and almost impossible to repair. JohnnyA

    almost a nice find... Hunting down the bezels will drive you crazy and cost you quite a bit.
