  • MORE INFO:  General Electric (50%), Tung-Sol (25%), and Westinghouse (25%) all supplied headlamp bulbs to Chrysler Corporation through the sixties and seventies.  Ford used a lot of GE bulbs.  AMC did not.
  • Fluting pattern refers to the grid of ridges in the front glass lens.  Wide flutes are 1/4" wide and narrow flutes are 1/8" wide.  See the next to last pic above for a side-by-side comparison.  Narrow flute bulbs have some wide flutes, but wide flute bulbs have NO narrow flutes. 
  • The 4000 was introduced by the industry on 12/29/1969 and the 4002 was phased out by the end of 1973.  The 4000 is brighter than the 4002 it replaces, hence GE's "Plus 25" designation.  Only the very early "Plus 25" bulbs like these had wide flutes and were identical to the old 4002 except for the ink stamp on the back (which doesn't show once installed) and the brighter filament.  Most of the 4000 bulbs produced were narrow flute versions.  Almost all of the GE 4000 and 4001 bulbs packaged in the common blue and yellow boxes (like the last pic above of a 4001 box) have narrow flutes.
  • If the box says "Also replaces 5001" it's narrow flute.
  • If the box is yellow (Westinghouse, Philips, GE) it's narrow flute.
  • During the 1961 model year, GE, as well as Tung-Sol, made noticeable appearance changes in their headlamps.  Your 1961 model Chrysler product could have been delivered with either the earlier style or the style for sale here.

Concept Car of the Week: Honda HP-X (1984)

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

20 years after producing its first production car, Honda grew enough confidence to challenge European sports cars on their own turf. Going straight for the jugular, they commissioned the famous Italian carrozeria Pininfarina to design a mid-engined two-seater concept for the 1984 Turin Motor show. The HP-X, standing for Honda Pininfarina eXperimental, had a very clean composition divided in three distinct elements: the matte black lower, the white ribbed body and the completely transparent canopy on top.

College Exhibition: Coventry Degree Show 2006

Fri, 07 Jul 2006

Transportation and product design students at Coventry University in England recently displayed their work in the school's summer degree show, one of the two graduation shows per year. A total of 74 students graduated in various fields including Automotive Design, Transport and Product Design, Vehicle Design, Boat Design and Consumer Product Design. With such a large body of graduating students, Coventry have wisely chosen to introduce a separate 'Selected Works' show this year for industry guests, which also opened to the public for one week at the end of June.
