ID these headlights?

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

                  Can anyone ID these headlights? They came on one of the two '38 Plymouths I bought last week but I've never seen them with the park lights before.

Thanks, Greg

Definitely not Plymouth items. GUIDE usually means General motors. Possibly truck items.

These type lights were found on many large trucks in the 40s like this 48 REO. The jump up parking lights on separately housed headlights are popular on. open wheel hot rods

Thanks Dave!

I did a little research by entering the model number 682-C and found exactly what you said to be true.

Best,

          Greg

 

(By the way, great looking vintage fire truck, but that modern light bar is really out of place?)

like this.  My father bought this 1936 in 1937.  When sealed beams came out around 1940 he installed these "Guide" lights.

Thanks for the positive comments, Greg. About that REO that transverse pumper engine with the crank is neat.
