Dodge Club Coupe FluidDrive (1948)

[bypass]

Hi

 

I would like to know if the headlight lens, for a Dodge D24 Club Coupe FluidDrive (1948) should have 3 "pins" like in the pic (attach). Is this original?. My car have one headlight lens with 3 "pins" and another with no "pins". I want put a head light but..like the original! On the other hand, does anyone know what brand is the original (1948)?If still the headlight´s original brand exists I prefer buy one!

 

 I´m also looking for:

 

 

 

1 -the rear bumper..only the middle part that says "fluid drive" . Is the same like the sedan model...

 

2 - tail Light bezel driver side (LH) for this car, and the glass tail Light. My car have the sedan model tail light and it is not correct one. The coupe model is smaller...

 

 

3 - engine starter (electric engine that connects to the flywheel) - even if don´t works

 

4 - Complete set door and windows handles (from 4 windows and 2 doors) - are the same like the sedan model.

 

 

 

If you have any contact (store/salvage) that could help me I appreciate

 

 

Thanks a lot!!

The 3 pins are for a headlight adjusting device. They were on all sealed beam headlights. For your car, any brand of 6 volt sealed beam will work the same as original. If you were doing a 100 point show car restoration you might want to get the original brand of headlights, made in 1948 but for practical purposes they are all the same.

 

If you need a replacement for a burned out bulb your local auto parts store should be able to get one. If not there are specialist antique car suppliers like Andy Bernbaum.

The original sealed beam light would have a metal back and you would see another small bulb sealed inside. Headlights sometime in the 50s were changed to all glass and they all interchange. The headlight above is a Halogen much newer

The earliest sealed beam head lights did not have the three adjustment tabs on the face.  They started sometime in the 1950s.  Your car and all Chrysler products of the 1940's would have used what is known as a "bulls eye" headlight with no adjustment tabs.  Post a photo of you other headlight. The one posted is incorrect.
