How well do you know your Headlights from the 1920's?...

    ...cause I sure as hell don't know what these are. I've searched every friggin' car I can think of that was made in the 1920's, and I can't figure out what car these belong to...can you?

    The headlights say C.M. Hall Parabeam Headlights on them...they are 10 1/4" wide...they have what looks to be a hole on the back for a jewel in each one...I'm stumped.

    I've tried Studebaker, Nash, Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto, Auburn, Lincoln, Stutz, Pierce Arrow, Peerless, Cord, Franklin, LaSalle, Cadillac, Hispano Suiza, etc....

    Anybody got a clue?

    Donna...get me another beer...

    While searching C. M. Hall headlights, there was a reference to a post that Lowcab made here in 2005 that he thought C.M. Hall mainly dealt with Chrysler...but I can't confirm that...

    X2 on AACA; there are some guys there, and even some from Europe, that come up with some obscure ID's. Not always, but most times.

    If you think it is early Chrysler, PM 31Dodger on here. He is up on prewar Mopars.

  7. I think you just stumped us,that's all.
     
  8. The mounting brackets look a little like Willys Knight. I think you got side-tracked after searching Hispano Suiza.
