Rare Vintage Dua-saf Studebaker Hudson Wig Wag Tail Lamp Rat Rod Custom Bracket on 2040-parts.com
Michigan City, Indiana, US
For your consideration is an original Wig-Wag tail light, complete with all brackets, that was used as OEM on Studebaker and Hudson models. IT was an accessory tail light that was made available in 1935 on 1936 model year cars. the concept behind the light was for the lantern portion to swing when the brake pedal was depressed which would alert the driver following a car that the preceding car was slowing thereby drawing more attention to the driver. these are rather difficult accessories to find and look amazing when featured on a car. This particular one is all there and complete with e rare mounting bracket. All vaccuum and electric lines are present and gaskets inside to allow to swing properly. All this will need is chrome to be perfect. Both glass lenses are in tact and are not scratched chipped or cracked. I do have an original Dua-Saf tag that will go with the sale. Happy to email additional pictures if necessary. Please ask any questions.

EyesOn design awards 2012 winners announced at NAIAS
Tue, 10 Jan 2012The Detroit-based EyesOn Design competition winners have just been announced at their traditional time, late on the second press day of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The jury, which this year included Ralph Giles (Chrysler), Derek Jenkins (Mazda), Lorenzo Ramaciotti (Fiat/Chrysler), Peter Schreyer (Kia) and Franz Von Holzhausen (Tesla) had a much greater array of products to choose from than in recent years; this is a somewhat rejuvenated Detroit auto show. From the cars on display at the show, the judges shortlisted the Ford Fusion, BMW 3-Series and Cadillac ATS for the best production car award.
Infiniti European range launched
Wed, 05 Mar 2008By Ben Barry Motor Shows 05 March 2008 14:45 What’s new on the Infiniti stand at Geneva? Nissan’s upmarket Infiniti brand officially launched its European range in Geneva, essentially a slimlined and simplified interpretation of its US model line-up: G37 coupe and saloon, EX37 coupe crossover and an all-new V8 coupe crossover to sit at the top of the range: the FX50. The latter model is essentially a scaled up EX37, though the nose treatment is notably bluffer and, to our eyes, a little too severe.
