I have never seen those before. I guess alot of other headlight trim rings would fit so would be a matter of searching vehicle pictures to find them?
Or maybe they are an aftermarket trim ring?? Jc whitney etc?

They look good. Curious now to find out what you find out.
Good luck

A poster on the HAMB suggested a low end '55 Buick. Very close:

This one sold on the 'Bay for $40


These are aftermarket and sold for $355 for the set:

In the eBay ad the seller had a pictures of a variety of old rusty cars he had them mounted on. He was just trying to show the different cars they'd work on.

LOL I owned them and didnt even know it..

Here is my 55 Buick from CA that I sold to a friend who had to have it more than me.



I have a 55 buick century parts car I picked up last year, if they are inside the car I am definately going to use them. Dont worry we are across the country from each other so there will not be two trucks in the same area with them! If those are for sale from that truck let me know, the rough ones would be perfect for my patina build 51.

Does anyone know if a Harley trim would work? There is a bunch out there or would it be to much to mount up
