Default Re: 32 Duolamps

Hard to tell for sure about the lamp housings without photos of their insides. The rim is Model A and again post '32 as the holes in the the '32 rims were not countersunk.


No original '32 housings were made without an opening for the license plate lens. An extremely rare housing without the license plate lamp lens opening was released for use in Denmark, Switzerland, and Japan on '33-'34s as local lighting requirements still demanded two separate bulbs, not a single bulb with two separate filaments. They do no have Duolamp stamped into the housings and they did not have integral square nuts on the inside for attachment to a '32 tail lamp bracket. Rather they are attched with screws into the nuts integral in '33-'34 tail lamp brackets. As a result, the back of the lamp housing overlaps the face of the bracket.


The convex red lens is consistent with the requirements of a few U.S. states. Most original '32 lenses were flat.
