SCOORE! Original 40's-50's Doray Yellow Foglights

[Dan in Pasadena]

I stopped by my nephew's house this afternoon and the house across the street was holding an Estate sale. I walked over to take look. The owner had been an 89 year old man that passed away and his sons hired two guys to oversee selling all his stuff.

I found a pair of (best I can tell) 40's-50's vintage Doray Lamp Co. Chicago, IL yellow fog lights complete with bumper bracket cast clamps in VERY nice condition. Got them for $10!!!

I came home and used 0000 steel wool to see how the chrome was and it cleaned right up. Tomorrow I'll try my buffing wheel and some polishing compound. The bumper bracket clamps are rusty but I will wire wheel them and spray them gloss black. The external wiring has/had the waxed cloth type insulation which is partially mouse eaten. I will replace that. Pic's coming tomorrow. I am stoked. Repops of something similar go for $280-320 on Chev's of the 40's.

Found THIS information about Doray. They're now defunct.
