If Memory Serves

This headlight was found on a Studebaker sedan from the late 1930's, before the war and the last of the traditional body style followed by this esteemed car maker. When the late Forties rolled around, Studebaker embarked on a radical styling change similar to the 1950 Ford with a bullet-nosed grill and streamlined planes front and rear. "You can't tell if it's coming or going," said some of the new profile. Photographed at a Ravalli County car show.

It's likely the small lights above the stylish chrome bezel are parking lights and not turn signals. Turn signals were not found on cars of this era, such technology not appearing until the 1950s.
