Oxnard Montalvo Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 The lights are Trippe Senior Driving Lights. The stock headlights aren't very bright so many people added supplemental lighting. I don't know if Trippes were dealer installed, I believe Guide Lights (a similar light, and a division of GM) were. Good Luck and smooth sailing with your '38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ewing Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 The colour is excellent. My 38 was originally a deeper blue, not metallic. Its due for another make over , and I'm planing to go back to blue, but I like your lighter appearing blue. Do you have a paint mix formula or an equivalent colour that I can track down to take a look at it on my 38?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveCorbin Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Dear Mr. Montalvo: I have a 1939 Roadmaster with the senior Trippes on it. When I set up the electrical feed for the Trippes, I ran the power direct from the generator thru a fuse to a relay to the Trippes, so they're very bright. The relay feed is from the high beam wire on the regular wiring harness on the little junction block out behind the radiator. This means the Trippes come on automatically when I go to high beams. That combination will teach any modern car some respect!Regards, Dave Corbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
