  What are a NOS pair of Unity fog lights with nos original switch and repainted original mounting brackets worth?

  Condition is everything. NOS means nothing. The switch lens is probably powder now, and the brackets were not originally painted.

  Vintageman, I'd need to know if they are concourse correct. Can you tell me that?

  These are NOS mint condition. Made for Ford Motor Co. by Unity Mfg . Co Chicago USA. Plating is mint. Switch is under dash with fuse and small pencil size butterscotch knob. Brackets are refurbished also in mint condition. Brackets have breakoff screw as originally produced.

  Lights also have amber 9165 lenses. All of the description on the lights are absolutely concourse correct.

  Are these what you have? If so, and they are nice as you describe, maybe $600ish. Years ago, $1000 or more. Those days are gone unfortunately.

  A few days ago I happened to drive by Unity's plant on the near-north side of Chicago. Still in an old industrial building that looks like it was built in the twenties, one of the last holdouts in a gentrifying neighborhood. I nodded in respect for the history in that building.

My teenage son bought a 2016 police car out of a municipal auction. The modern spotlight plastic lens and reflector was all weather-beaten. Turned out to be no problem: Unity still sells exact replacement parts on their website.

  About 10 years ago I scored a pair at Rhinebeck for $20. Grinned all the way home !

  Hey everyone!

I'm seeking information about the 1940 Ford NOS Unity fog lights for a restoration project on a Ford from that era. I understand these are rare accessories sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. If anyone has any experience with these fog lights or knows where I might find some in good condition, I'd appreciate any advice or information.

Thanks in advance for your help!

  Send me a private message. I have numerous pairs and switches.
