Ruxtons, quite the colorful way of calling attention to a failing car company during the depression, trying to increase sales

Unusual, rare, and restored cars from the 1920's and 30's at the Nethercutt musuem

I hope you've been looking at my blog long enough to recognize these headlights as my favorite, they are the Woodlight type http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/woodlight%20headlights , and only came on two cars I know of, the DuPont occasionally, and this 1930 Ruxton in its factory paint, stripes of reds. Three other cars have had woodlights, a Stutz, Cord, and an Auburn but I suspect they were added by the owners. Most unusual for factory paint, but it was the midst of the great depression, and this was a luxury car that needed potential buyers attention. ( just like the glam rockers of the 70's and 80's and the big hair and makeup )

Above 3 images from http://www.dieselpunks.org/photo/albums 

Above photos of the 1929 Auburn Cabin Speedster and 1929 Stutz M-8 from http://www.tuningforum.cz/
the above 2 are Du Pont cars, the bottom I don't know.. probably another model of Du Pont, but it has different louvers on the hood sides
As far as I've seen, only Ruxton and Du Pont had the Woodlight as standard lights. I read somewhere they were lousy for lighting the road ahead.Labels: DuPont, roadster, woodlight headlights
