Update 1\/16\/12: <\/strong>You can contact Rene at rkemmer @ knoware.nl if you are interested in a set.<\/p>\n

1\/13\/12:<\/strong> I keep this site up for free for the most part.\u00a0 Some days I spend 20 minutes, some 2 hours, but I just do what they day dictates, because I enjoy it and have this vision of what this site would be if I kept it up for 20 years.\u00a0 Every once in a while I get a gift because of the site.\u00a0 Laurence gave me a VERY nice steering wheel for my Sprint -transforming how the feel of the car was transmitted through my hands, Bob gave me some very nice used all red tail light lenses, Joe a set of headlight rings and an air box and there are others.\u00a0 Today, all unexpected, Rene sent me this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s actually kind of funny, I thought the orange post office ‘come get your package’ notice was for a box (or two) of Glas GT parts I was expecting from Germany, or my rebuilt Solex from George, or even possibly more baby stuff.\u00a0 I was not expecting this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe six months ago Rene sent me an email saying he appreciated what I did and as a thank you would help me out with some Marchal fog or spot lights since he reproduced them.\u00a0 This is what I saw when I opened the box.\u00a0 Holy Sh*t is what I thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Check it out, those white things at either end of the box are lamp covers.\u00a0 I wonder what the lamps look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fitting that I share my house with this critter.\u00a0 Didn’t know Domino<\/em> had been doing logo modelling in France on the side.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fantastic is right!\u00a0 The boxes that house these lights are amazing.\u00a0 A perfect replica of what you bought in the sepia-tone world of 50 years ago.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Check out the print quality and paper stock that these are printed on.\u00a0 The two little boxes are bulbs, one white and one yellow.\u00a0 Lower right hand corner is the bulb holder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the quality and attention to detail that is exhibited by these lamps!\u00a0 Marchal 660’s are serious items, normally reserved for stuff like Ferrari’s and Maserati’s -or a car like mine at the end of a worm-hole that started with the intention to do a restoration.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That is verrr cool.\u00a0 This thing is heavy, like it was meant for the space shuttle.\u00a0 The glass is pure art and the chrome backing is like a mirror.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cool picture this.\u00a0 I’m wearing one of the new Giuliettas.com T-shirts<\/a>.\u00a0 My pregnant wife is reclining behind me and the crazy ceiling in the living room of my new house is in evidence.<\/strong>\u00a0 What’s the Bob Dylan album cover this looks like?\u00a0 Bring it all back home<\/em>?\u00a0 Chrome is seriously like a mirror.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not sure how to mount them since my front bumper has perfect chrome and no holes or dents, but I will figure our a way -maybe a small crash bar\/cradle sort of set up.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Rene’s company Eurignals reproduces Marchal spot and fog lights.\u00a0 I’m not sure how much they cost, or which models he reproduces, but I can put you in contact with him if you are interested in a pair.<\/p>\n

THANK YOU Rene!!!\u00a0 I’m speechless.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are not 660’s but you get the idea.\u00a0 I would put mine a little closer together in the middle.\u00a0 I guess I could mount my front license plate at the same time.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
