Buick35 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 What cars were these used on? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Don't think they were original factory equipment on any car, but a dealer or aftermarket installed accessory. They look good on a few cars, but not all, in my opinion. L-29 Cord is where they show up the most, on which they look great, Ruston, some other speedster models. Although they look different, it was said the interior reflector design actually gave a nice beam of light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Wow wish I had bought a few sets when it seemed like not long ago a thousand bucks got you a pretty good pair. I haven't looked for any in the recent past so I have not seen how desirable they must have become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron hausmann Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Buick35 - These lights were factory standard on Ruxton automobiles. They were also dealer-options on several other high end oddball late 20’s cars like Kissel. Im aware that from the 137 Kissels which survive, there are two Kissels from the mid 20’s that have these.

old_truck_nut Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 The Woodlites have been sold. FYI, I received a couple of bids, the high being $4,700 +. They’re going on a ‘26 Cadillac, custom. They’re still quite popular, it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
