Turns out the identical glass lens and chrome frames were used in the 1950's throughout the buses built for the Chicago Transit Authority.
Also, the differential from that car (HUGE) were utilized much later in International trucks.

When I had late-30s MoPars, I found some of the small parts are the same as Fords of the era - likely the same suppliers.
