Thanks guys. Half of my search problems stem from not knowing the correct terminology to use and what to be watching out for. I had originally thought I would just be able to saunter into NAPA with my old bulb in hand and say "I want another of these". Luckily they were closed when I took this bulb out so I saved a wasted trip. Thanks for the links, they have pointed me in the correct direction and after looking at pages and pages of bulbs, I would have to guess I won't be getting an exact match to the old bulb and will have to replace both. Here's hoping I don't drop the other lens...

Here is the tail light set up. There are two bulbs.One tail light and brake light and one signal. As best as I can tell, the lower round lens may just be a reflector. I keep the car about 10 miles from my house, so I'll have to go back up and look at the socket since the bulb I am looking to replace has two poles (not sure if that is the correct term) and everything I'm seeing would appear to have only one. The turn signal lever inside the car mounted to the steering column would appear to be after market. The signal light on the other side lights and flashes fine so I don't think it is a flasher issue. I'm trying to avoid swapping bulbs because of what my butter fingers did to the left lens.

I noticed that my left rear turn signal on my 1941 180 was not flashing but my right one was. I took that housing apart and removed the bulb figuring I would just take the other one out and swap them to make sure that it was just the bulb. However, during the removal, the lens dropped on the floor and broke (fortunately it was a clean split on a recessed feature and it should be an undetectable fix). So, not wanting to press my luck on the other lens, I put a multi meter to the bulb and it would appear to be dead. I want to replace it with the same type of bulb so both sides match. It looks to be a 6 volt LED however in my searches I can not find a duplicate. Does anyone have any idea if or where I might get one as shown in the pictures? Even though I don't drive the car in the dark, the LEDs in the tail lights and turn signals throw off a really bright light considering it is a 6 volt system and a bright turn signal is a blessing when driving on Florida streets. If this search doesn't pan out and yield an exact duplicate, does anyone use a similar bulb that I can swap out?

Here is the other style I referred to. I couldn't make it so both files were attached in the original question.

1941 One Eighty front license plate

First let me say thank you to BigKev for all his hard work on migrating the website. Surely it is a labor of love.
My question concerns the front license plate holder on my 1941 One Eighty 7 Passenger Sedan. In as far as I can recall, all the photos I've seen of front views of 41's the license plates have been mounted on the driver's side above the bumper. Mine has a holder suspended from the bottom of the bumper in the center and in order for the plate to be centered in between the upper guards, the plate has to be slid all the way to one side of the bracket. All of this makes me think that the above the bumper plate holder is correct and mine is an after market. Any ideas? Attach file: ![]() ![]()

I was able to get replacement blades for my 1937 115C from Max Merrit. They had two different connector types and as luck would have it, I chose the wrong type initially and had to swap them out.
