What about the headlights. Aren’t they Chevrolet’s?

Thankyou for the information.
Headlights look great, but I have no idea what they might be from...

The headlights are not Chevrolet. From the looks of them would be from a higher price car. The Chevrolet and other lower price cars did have drum headlights but most were a simple pressing with ether painted or maybe nickle rims.

My 21 Stutz’s headlights look very similar.

Some drum headlights were also offered through aftermarket retailers like Western Auto. I have seen sets like the drum lights on my speedster in these type of 1920s catalogs.
