    WTB:Set of "Coffee Can" headlights for my 1931 Ford 2 man Indy car. See photos!

    Dear Friends: Greetings. Thought you might like to see my latest car,built in early 1970s by Duesenberg collector Jim Talmadge,who was film star Buster Keetons son. I bought it from Tamladges son Michael,who is now 62 years old.Jim found the authentic 2 man body in a building in Indianapolis around 1970.He was told it was off of a Miller Indy car. Has a HAL sohc head on a Model A Ford block, and shortened chassis,and twin Winfield carbs. Jim built the rest of the body,from the firewall foward. It runs like the wind! I want to find a pair of "coffee can" headlights for the car,to match the 'coffee can' fog/running lights on it. Does anyone have any,or have a lead for me? The headlights should be around 8 inches or a little larger,in diameter. Many mid 1920s cars used the coffee can type,like Husdon,Essex,Olds,Etc.Would prefer totally chromed or nickel ones. Also want to find a period set of 4-6 knockoff wheel hubcaps,that I can attach over the top of the factory Ford 4 inch hubcaps currently on the car,to make the wheels kind of look knock off.
