Topic: Original headlight for 1966

[67convt]

I have an unrestored late 1966 (July), Dearborn car that I would like to begin to show and I'm looking for one original headlight bulb for it - Fomoco with TS script.  If anyone has one that they would like to sell or may know of someone who might be willing to sell one, please send me a pm or call me at 703-939-1741.  Thank you,

Dana

They do come up on eBay from time to time, a mate of mine bought one...
However they do make reproductions with the FoMoCo script, the repos will have a brighter glow to them so you may want to replace both and hold onto the originals...

I agree Carlite if you look at a repo bulb the filament in the back of the bulb is blue and the manufacture on the bottom shows a V which should be a W for Westinghouse. I don't know of a car seal beam headlamp supplier whose name starts with a V. I know of three manufactures for headlamp bulbs used in the sixties and they were Westinghouse, General Electric and T
