Looks like someone went and painted everything black, including the chrome on the headlights

First and only time I've ever seen Woodlights used as fog lights

Yes, there have been a lot of posts lately about the Wood Lite headlights, and no, I'm not trying to collect the whole set, but, I couldn't pass on these (Thank you Robert M!)(Thank you Bob!)

Robert M knew that this "Official Car of the 99" is photographed at because it's the Elks Lodge # 99, in Los Angeles Ca. What was the Elks Lodge is now the Park Plaza Hotel  

At the time, the Elks membership numbered thousands and included L.A.'s wealthy and powerful. The building contained 169 hotel rooms but was mainly designed for the Elk's activities and events, with lavish interiors, including an impressive spacious foyer, a huge ballroom that could be used as an auditorium, numerous dining rooms, a gymnasium, pool, and a bowling alley.

Designed as a memorial to World War I soldiers, the exterior features stylized Assyrian friezes, sculpted figures in military uniform, and massive cast stone warrior angels guarding the plinth and tower at every corner. 

The lavish interior features an arched ceiling painted by famed muralist Anthony Heinsbergen, who purposely undercut the competition bidding for the job and toiled on his back while painting, like Michelangelo. 

Heinsbergen later claimed that he rarely bothered with self-promotion again. 

By the 1960s, following decades of declining membership and substantial losses at its Los Angeles lodge, the Elks could no longer maintain the building. It fell into general disrepair, and the Elks put it up for auction in 1966.

There have been dozens of movies and music videos, and concerts... you can read about the riots and punks etc at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Plaza_Hotel_(Los_Angeles)

and this... did it really NEED to call out the headlights with lettting and an arrow? Hmmm

But a Kenworth made for hauling cargo, that's a really strange vehicle to find Wood lites on

Marshfield is now known as Coos Bay, OR. The Portland-Roseburg-Marshfield route would have involved 180 miles down the Willamette Valley through farm country along Hwy 99 (later superceded by I-5), then 80 miles over the Coast Range along windy narrow Hwy 42. A full day's drive, and in the winter, usually rainy weather.

the Woodlites sure give it a 60s funky look!

 

with the bent over cab, the gold and pink color palate, and the dune buggy nose, the builder NAILED the "groovy" early 60s look of goofy car show only cars like the Roth ones

back in 2010, I posted about the Auburn Cabin Speedster... and I think I just stumbled across a photo of that same car way back in 1932 from

I'm only guessing it's the same one. 

orignally the color photos were posted in https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/woodlight-headlights-number-one-in.html where there are a couple others

something unusual in customs, retro headlights on a fendered car, and on top of that, the headlights are inspired by Woodlites

I've seen Brewsters with a variety of headlights, but it's just obvious that none are as perfect a match in design as the Woodlite

I just love the woodlight headlights, they make what would be a good looking car, a great looking car. Almost anthropomorphic eyes
