The 12 volt Tung-Sol 5440 and 5400 7" headlamps were first used in cars and trucks in 1953.  Produced from 1953 to 1959, the 5440 heavy duty version for sale here was eventually replaced by the 6013.  They were advertised variously as "rough service", "heavy duty", "truck and bus", and "long-life" and have a beefed-up, reinforced filament that 5400 bulbs did not.  Also consider this as a possible alternative to the very-hard-to-find 5400.

I only have one.

This headlamp, dated July, 1956, does not have the three aimer buttons (also known as "aiming points", "aiming platforms", "nubbins", and "gizmoes") which were introduced by the industry in 1955 and which became almost universal by 1956.  I have been told that Ford continued to use headlamps without aimers after that.

2015 Ford Mustang makes premier 'Hero' car

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

The 2015 Mustang stirs up the silver screen with the latest co-branded commercial set to arrive this weekend during the Daytona 500. “Need for Speed” director Scott Waugh says that the ideal movie cars “combine tons of power, rear-wheel drive, great handling and the ability to be easily flung around corners.” So what's better than the latest and greatest Mustang to roll out of the Blue Oval? The 50th anniversary of course.

Volkswagen T-ROC concept debuts at Geneva Motor show

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

As promised, Volkswagen brought the pint-sized T-ROC concept to the Geneva Motor Show this week. Intended to be positioned below the Taigun compact SUV (not to be confused with the Tiguan) the T-ROC sits on the Golf platform known internally as MQB. But the T-ROC is actually shorter than the Golf, at 164.5 inches in length, owing to short overhangs.

MINI Countryman Coupe to be the MINI Paceman after all

Fri, 06 Jul 2012

MINI has revealed that the MINI Paceman Concept which we thought was going to hit production as the MINI Countryman Coupe will be the Paceman after all. There was always little chance that the MINI Paceman – a two door Countryman Coupe first seen at Detroit last year – was doing anything other than heading for production. After all, making a coupe version of the Countryman is an obvious niche for MINI – that great seeker of niches – to extend the MINI franchise in to.
