The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1930 Ford A Standard roadster. What is NOT correct?

My advice would be to get rid of the cowl lights. Although they could have been added by a dealer in my opinion a restored standard car should have as little "bling" as possible. It looks like the cowl band needs to be repaired where the cowl lights were installed. I would also guess that they are a reproduction but it is hard to tell from the photo. Remember that your headlight reflectors should have two bulbs if you decide to go without the cowl lights. Also be sure to buy your headlight reflectors from Bratton's Ford Parts, (301) 829-9880.
