E&J 366 Headlights on Early 1909s?

Post by Alex Dragone » Tue Mar 24, 2020 2:43 pm

I have seen little information about the E&J 366 headlights. I have seen pictures of very early 1909 cars with three tier E&J sidelights and what look to be E&J 366 headlights. You can kind of tell because the rims of the 366s are smaller in diameter than the traditional 466's used on the late 09-10 cars. Is it possible these were supplied on some 1909's? Maybe supplied by dealers for cars originally ordered without headlights? Thoughts?

According to the build sheet for my '09, it was supplied with "E & J" side-lamps, but without headlamps. However, I have an original photograph of my car, which clearly shows it fitted with an ornate pair of French-made "Ducellier" headlamps. My car was sold (when new) by "Davies & Fehon", in Sydney (Australia). Interestingly, "Davis & Fehon" sold "Ducellier" lamps.
