35 Hudson 8

Trevor J

can anyone tell me the correct dimensions for the headlight lenses on a 35 Hudson 8 coupe.  Is there a number for the lense.

Thanks. Trevor

Trevor J,

The note in my book that I used when restoring my 1935 Hudson 8 is as follows.
8"x3" inches or 205cm x 75 cm
The distinguishing mark on the 1935 8 cyl glass is a dimple or tit on the highest point of the dome.
That is what I found here in Australia when I restored mine many years ago, hope this helps.y

Trevor, this is what came with my 35 H8. The glass is 8" dia and has a 2" dome.

The writing on the bottom of the glass says DEPRESS BEAM HEADLIGHT and its made by the C A Hall Lamp Co of Detroit.

At the top of the glass it says TOP and beneath that there is an X.

The shell is bullet shaped and is 11" long

While I'm on here does anyone have a spare stainless trim ring for one of these headlights?
