Guest Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hello Friends,<BR> I have what appears to be cadillac headlights from around the period from 1915-1918. Is there any way of positively identifying these lights .<BR> The buckets are solid brass and in the shape of a bell. The lights are connected to a light bar that bolts to each fender. Very fancy headlight rings in nickel. <BR> I have pictures to send by email.

Guest Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 I was under the impression Cadillac went all electric in 1912. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 LI ~ It did. I too was confused at first and then decided that the title on the thread had nothing to do with the description of the lights. ~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Are you by chance suggesting a reaction similar to what befalls me after too much indulgence in wifey's bean salad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Sorry guys,<BR> I didn't mean to confuse anyone. <BR>I just have this set of lights and know little about them. <BR> Now I know they are electric by a closer inspection. The inlet socket is different than most I've seen.<BR> Is there a market for these babies?<BR> They are missing the reflectors and have a few dings, but nothing that could not be fixed.<BR> I am into model T cars and unfortunately cannot use them.<BR> Thanks, Stephen Thorpe<BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 I believe that the early cad electric light had Cadilac script engraved into the top of the shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Stephen ~ If you can post a picture, I can tell you if they are '12-'14. Before '12 they were gas. That is the limit of my knowledge. And as trainguy said, they have the name Cadillac on top.<P>Are the backs sort of flat or are they more bullet shaped? ~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
