I.D. needed 1920’s Cadillac Headlight Rim

[Ric Dean]

... Identification needed on the year of manufacture for this 1920s Cadillac Headlight Rim and Lens.

The Rim is 11’’ at its widest point.

… I have had this in a Display Case for better than 45 years; it would be nice to be able to tell folks what it fits.

Thank you, Ric

If you could give us the Bausch & lomb number on the lense it would help ID.

Ric,

You should find the information you seek in the Cadillac Database (http://cadillacdatabase.com/). Try the photo section: http://cadillacdatabase.com/Dbas_txt/Phot_ndx.htm

Hope this helps!

... There are no numerals showing; maybe there are some under the Rim.

Thanks, Ric

Thanks Jeff

That did the trick; narrowed it down to the 1st year; 1925 Cadillac new ‘Custom’ line received nickel-plated headlights with a "shield" design Rim and a

small Crest, at top center.

Thanks again; Ric

In unambiguous authoritative unassailable verbiage : Your headlight rims applicability corresponds to all V63 ( 1924 and 1925 ) Cadillacs. It is the headlight buckets which were available nickel plated for 1925. Rims always were. If I knew how to post a picture I would show you a front on of my unrestored '24 7 pass touring. It looks quite nice , almost new or restored , but it is neither. If that pic with Cadillac script on the radiator would enhance your display , I do know how to email direct .
