I appriciate any help identifing what this light is from originally. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
TerryB 2,900 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Look like an accessory spotlight with that switch on the back. Might clamp to the windshield frame. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

DFeeney 66 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Could this be one of the windshield spot lights that young Floyd Clymer got rich on, "Back in the Day"? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
28 Chrysler 547 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 So the answer is yes, Ford, Buick, Studebaker and others. These were usually put on the less expensive open cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
