It's a 1928 Dodge Victory Six Series 130.  Its significance is it has the first all-steel sedan body by Budd developed to eliminate wood as a structural member.   Wood framing still supports the top fabric insert but the cowl, sides, rear panel and doors are welded all-steel stampings.  It would be the 1935 GM 'Turret Top" models that finally received a one-piece steel top stamping, oddly enough on a still wood-framed body shell.

It is not a Victory Six.  The car is a 1928 DB Senior Six.  The manual shown is incorrect for the car.  This is bigger car than a Victory Six and less common to see.

Can't be sure without looking up close. There were some after-market headlamp lenses sold in the 1920s that were yellow, but I don't think these are those.

Most likely, just the silver on the reflectors has tarnished badly. I have seen a lot of them tarnished to about that color, although usually in headlamps that have broken lenses. Quite often, if a headlamp has been kept closed and indoors out of the elements, the reflectors even after nearly a hundred years will be still fairly shiny! But I have seen exceptions over the years. If the headlamp is supposed to have some sort of gasket between the lens and the reflector, but that gasket is missing or has shrunk so much that most of it has slid out of place, sometimes the reflector can tarnish badly. Certain corrosive chemicals can become airborne, and even if a headlamp is closed up, a small amount of those chemicals can do a lot of damage to the silvering. Most headlamps that era had drains and/or small ventilation holes to let condensation or rain water out. Given enough time, those small holes can "breath" enough air out and in to allow some amount of silver corrosion.
