1939-1940 Headlight Bezel ID

[Rowdy]

Not being overly familure with 39-40 Ford variations, I need some help properly IDing these headlight bezels. Thanks Rod

They look like pre 40 conversions, to install sealed beam bulbs. Probably aftermarket.

These are aftermarket sealed beam conversions for 1937-1939 standard. 1940 Ford came with sealed beam headlights, and 1939 was the last year for small bulb with silvered reflectors.

I don't think they are for a 39 or 40 Ford headlight as the parking light on a 40 is at the top. Also they look to be the incorrect configuration. For some reason I thought they might belong on a Willys.

Thanks Guys. I have seen the one with the signal lense before, but have not seen the set in the last pic's. Rod

Here's what they are but the clock is missing Actually, I think they were made by a company called Electrodyne or something similar. They were for sealed-beam conversions.

Thanks 39 Coupe, I put them for sale on the Swap section. maybe you can make more clocks. Need to clear the shelves of all non Model A parts. Have too much stuff in the shop to get much work done right now. Rod

Rowdy it is great to see I am not the only person caught up in the insanity of overfilling his nest. I think they need a 12 step group for this malady. Forget working
on the cars, I cannot even find a staging area anymore to facilitate a clean-up! Good luck on your surrounds. The company referred to was actually called Electroline. I have a couple of varieties of these too, and appreciate learning the stuff revealed in response to your post...thanks!

I am learning also. Going to be clearing the shelves in the next few weeks, gotta find room again. Fridays purchase of parts really did not help the room situation. I made the deal over the phone and was told a couple of boxes, maybe alittle more. Filled up the pickup including the cab. The price was right and there is some really nice stuff even though most is 30-40-GM parts. I did find a set of NOS Model A kingpins and some NORS Flathead valve guides. So far I an abit over half done inventorying it. Rod

Only reason I thought of making it into a clock was because they were both sitting on the workbench and it just seemed to click. Thanks but I'll pass on more rings. I already have too much stuff sitting around. Good luck.
