He seemed to think it was Lucas product on the Holden also.

I was orginally thinking they'd look good on Olute but I'm told the '55 107" would have had the round "pork pies".

Given the rarity and expense of D lights I thought this might be of interest if your looking for some D's.

Hi Guys and Gal ,

The D lamps are not rare at all.. well the body part isn't .. It's the glass lens that's always missing or broken, or been replaced with a horrid plastic thing. They turn up on Epay quite often , under all sorts of headings . Usually, the lens is gone . They were a standard lighting item on so many makes from 30's to 50's . There are variations in them. They were made by the million-common as garden clippings.
