Has anyone seen the accessory headlights called "wood lites" ? They were introduced in 1929 but apparently the company went out of business shortly after they were introduced. I was reading about them but love to see what they look like.

Don,

Type the word "woodlites" in the "Search This fourm" box.

When you will see them and what they look like ,,then you would know why they went out of Business in a short time.

They were generally used on big cars of the era, 1929/30 Cord L29s come to mind. A very narrow vertical beam as I remember. Pete is right, not particularly appealing.

I had a chance to buy a pair of them at an antique shop in S.D. about 20 years ago. Had I known more about them I probably would have bought them, but they were pretty ugly.

They were standard equipment on an obscure auto called the Ruxton, a high dollar car that also had a short run. They are classy looking art-deco lights, but quite worthless if you actually needed to see where you were going. They would look WAY out of place on an "A".
