Rust Rustler Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Studebaker 1920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude17 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 1918 Studebaker. A pressed steel "cup" is bolted to the light with the domed nut and these are then bolted to the mudguard. You can see the faint outline where the cup is attached to the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Thanks guys , fast work . I never would have guessed on my own. Looks like the Liberty uses the same mounting as Studebaker? I need to find a new owner now that I can narrow done the ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , there also was a Liberty automobile in 1916. Liberty is the model of the glass? McBeth-Evans glass co the maker ? I'm pretty sure Studebaker didn't make these lights , but they did use them. Would be interesting to know if their lens said Liberty. I would think several makes of the time period used them. I posted it in the Parts for sale section. Be glad to hear of other makes.

Mark Wetherbee Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Many years ago I had a 1924 Special Six Studebaker which had very similar if not exact lights, the liberty lens was the factory used lens. Good luck with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
