WTB Mid 50’s Autolite Park Lamp (pair)

Ken, that same style was used on the wagons and pickups of that era. Replacement parts are sort of unobtanium, especially the glass, and I couldn't find any gaskets so I made them. These are from a 57 wagon-ignore the spacer. That was required to keep my right side pig tail from getting pinched against the radiator tank.

 

Ken,

I saw at least one good "beehive" glass in a box full of old lights out in the shed, may be more than one. There are bases and other parts in the box, probably not in great shape. You are welcome to any or all of it.

 

I believe there are 2 different diameters of these style lights. You should measure to be sure you get what you want.

 

These don't look too bad if you need them. No bevel though.
I might buy them if you don't to have spares for my jeep.

The ones I need are 2” diameter glass and have stainless bezels.
They have one wire only.
They were used 1952 through 1956 on
Various Jeep models.
A very similar ALA lamp was used in the late 50’s and early 60’s.
About 1/4” smaller diameter glass and used a chromed die cast bezel. The latter was s 2wire lamp.

 

If only someone could use plastic resin and a silicone mold in a vacuum chamber to make plastic replicas for offroad use.

 

Kaiser Willys has 2-wire repos with glass lenses: https://www.kaiserwillys.com/produc...sembly-2-3-4-diameter-fits-48-71-jeep-willys/

No clue if the quality is any good.
