Headlight Bucket

[sfair]

Headlight bucket and door only. Has a tag that says - Lucas King of the Road

Consecutive # N1667

Reg # 498247

Does anyone have a fitment and a possible year?

Thanks

"King of the Road" ??? Prince of Darkness.... Lucas invented the black-out lamps during peacetime, They had them perfected long before they were needed during wartime. Made those blackout electrical systems right up through the 70s! (JK guys) <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

More info:

Made from stainless steel, quite large at 11 1/4" in diameter.

Possibly from a truck? Found in Canada, so maybe from an assembled

vehicle where various parts are purchased rather than made?

Isn't Lucas electrical gear usually used on British cars? I'm thinking you should go down that road. I recently had a Bosch light, and someone said German!! so I hit the library and there it was on 36-48 Mercedes model 170's Good luck

I rubbed a little of the paint off of this bucket

and it is shiny underneath. Now google a 1907 Rolls Royce

Silver Ghost. Does anyone, besides me, see any likeness?

Actually, this picture shows it a little better:
