Wrong headlights?

[owlpondA]

Was rewriring my headlights and dropped and broke the lense. Reordered a replacement

but the ones I received don't match. Looks like '35 headlights? Can anyone confirm?

The PS lens is wrong. Actually, on closer look, both are wrong, for the A. Look like 32s to me, also.

Look ok to me! Take a straight on picture! Hard to really tell,Should be flat not curved my mistake couldn't really tell by photos.

Here's a close up pic. The glass I ordered is flat and these have a curved lense and the ones I ordered don't fit the retaining ring.

Those look like '32. And the headlight bar looks like a stainless steel wrapped '32 headlight bar.

Not sure about the headlights, but you sure have a nice looking wagon!

Yep, '32 Ford headlights for sure.

Have a look in the swap meet section .
Hard times wants to swap some 30-31 Model A lights for the 32 type.

It sounds like you are ready to button the project up. My suggestion would be to finish and start posting wanted ads for Model A lights in similar condition. The lights look good on the car. In similar condition the '32 lights are probably worth about 30% more (just a guess) than the Model A lights. You are probably going to be looking for a headlight bar also. If you are 12 volts run the "brite" bulbs from Ron Francis Wire Works, https://www.ronfrancis.com, (800) 292-1940 Attached is a Model A I saw at a show with '32 headlights (plus a few other things).

The lens shown is original. I ordered a replacement from Snyder's not realizing I had 32 headlights....

Charlie, are you trying to confuse people showing Larry McKinny's '31/'32 Vicky? I love his car but it makes the brain skip a beat.

 

[maneri]

the last lens shown is a 33/34 not 32

Thanks for putting a name to the owner. I took the photograph out at the HCCA New Year's rally. I am not sure I would build a car like it but I admire the craftsmanship and selection of parts. I think it is a beautiful Model A.
