1924-25 DB Special option questions

[jps]

I just read in another posting that "DB Specials came with 6 ply balloon tires, nickel trim radiator shell, front and rear bumpers in either black or nickel, special blue leather upholstery, special body striping, rear view mirror, automatic windshield wiper, scuff plates, cowl lights and steel disc wheels."

I have a partially-restored '25 that I thought was a Special but I don't think I have the cowl lights and rear view mirror although I believe I have everything else. Does anyone have good close-up photos of these items so I could see what I am missing? Should there be holes for the cowl lights? How did the lights wire up - in parallel with headlights?

Thank you.

Here is a photo of a cowl light.

I can take some close ups (disassembled too). These do show up on e-bay fairly often. I'm not sure about the holes- Did you look under the cowl and see if there is any kind of marking or knock out? Since you have a 25 Touring, is there any chance I could get you to measure your top irons and post the results? (see my thread on the subject).

All those fancy add ons could be ordered seperate as well. It was cheaper though to buy a Special than to add ALL the items to a Standard. Or someone could have added them later from a donor car.
