Re: 1947 Super Custom Fog lights

The lights pictured are manufactured by Unity Lamp Co. Chicago IL. The period lights and those made up to about 1965 had a 'Crest" on them shaped like the last joint of your thumb adn held on with a screw. On the top it had a tag with "Packard" on it or other makes.

The ones pictured have a curved plate retained by by 2 rivets. They are still manufactured. Both types are incorrect as far as "original" is concerned, the crest type was available in the 40's and were dealer installed.

The correct lamps werre made by CM Hall I believe and had an oval "Packard Road and Fog Lamp" tag on them retained by 2 rivets. They were more bullet shaped and had a point in the back.

If I remember Monday I'll post a photo
