jerrybev Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 hi It is GE, 12V, model# M16. I don't know if it came from some place like JC Whitney, Western Auto, or if it was offered by a car maker as an accessory. Hope someone can clarify. thank you Jerry Whitfield email jerrybev1@yahoo.com or answer here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Here in PA they were popular for spotting deer at night. I’m pretty sure they were aftermarket from a Pep Boys or other similar store and catalog. Good chance the dealer had them in stock too for purchase.

hursst Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 These were offered for years from the late 40's all the way through the mid 70's thru GM as an accessory with some slight modifications. It appears the one you have is the same thing, but is for the aftermarket. The official GM ones would have "GM" or I think I've seen "Buick" in the little circle area around the handle. I have a '74 Camaro and in the official accessories catalog is this model, except it says "GM" on the handle; I found one at Hershey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) If that little round dot on the side of the handle says GM ACCESSORIES in it you have the real thing.
