I appriciate any help identifing what this light is from originally. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Look like an accessory spotlight with that switch on the back. Might clamp to the windshield frame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Looks more like an accessory windshield post mounted spotlight from the 19teens or 1920s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFeeney Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Could this be one of the windshield spot lights that young Floyd Clymer got rich on, "Back in the Day"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 So the answer is yes, Ford, Buick, Studebaker and others. These were usually put on the less expensive open cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Clymer's light mounted through a hole that you cut through the glass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
