    I picked up some cool stuff recently but after talks with several people, I still am not quite sure what I have.

    Heres the first. I think this is a 1932 Buick Series 90 Grill but just need clarification

    And lastly these headlights. I only took a picture of one, you get the idea. These are what I am having trouble figuring out what they are. The only markings on them is Bausch and Lomb Star lenses, and on the back a knob that says AGA. I'm taking a weak guess that maybe 1928 Pierce Arrow Model 81 but I dont know.

    According to my book "Monstrous American Car Spotter's Guide" you are correct on the grill but the headlights are not PA. All the PA headlights from about 1924-31 are more torpedo shape with a flat spot on the bottom of the housing for mounting to the fender.

    Maybe mid to late 1920's Cadillac
    In my book it notes "New Bosch And Lomb lenses" for 1922
    Nickel plated housings were optional.

    Here's a '22.

    The headlights do seem to look like 1922 Cadillac. I wonder if I can find a closer picture...

  6. For sure the radiator shell is a '32 Buick. Packard shells had much sharper edges. Some thought Buick was copying the Packard design to ride the coat tails of the more expensive brand.
    Most cars didn't have grills until the mid 30's.
