External Lights - Front

Perhaps from its foggy past in the San Francisco area, #739 ended up with two sets of fog lights. I would presume authenticity means the ones on the bottom will go. For some reason, the 'originals' inside the bumper are not both amber which I would expect.

  

Because of the dull luster of the rings around the headlights, I suspected they were aluminum and not chrome. However, looking at a closeup of the right headlight shows a crack with rust. That suggests it's not aluminum, but a chrome plating over steel (?) that has lost its luster.

The reflectors look good and maybe original. I can't read all of the text around the perimeter of the reflector housing, but I can read New York and Toronto.

The turn signals look very good. The rings are still shiny and appear to be chrome. The glass is good and where will you ever see a bright red caboose reflected in the lens, besides the Minnesota Tranportation Museum!
