Marchal FOG lights 1969 & earlier

[Schickentanz]

Price: $285

Location: Manhattan, NY

Description:

Pair of original Marchal 660/760 fog lights is excellent preserved condition.  Made in France the 19th week of 1967. This exact style was made from 1964-69.  Rare stainless steel versions.  Wait it gets better.... factory H1 bulbs option! It gets better....European yellow internal bulb covers!   7" Marchal Fantastics were made up until 1969 but were used into the '80s because the use of H1 bulbs was way ahead of the time.  These are the very first lights to ever use H1 bulbs, which Marchal invented, and H1 bulbs are still widely used today and easy to find.  Marchal first offered H1 Fantastics in 1964.  Stainless steel Fantastics were the most expensive, more than the chrome or painted versions.   

This beautiful pair is in great shape.  Glass and reflectors are excellent.  Brand new Philips 'Vision' 55 watt bulbs.  The internal yellow cover produces the yellow beam which is best in foggy conditions.  The yellow cover is painted with the cat eye diffuser pattern which produces the wide, low beam.  Modern performance with period-correct looks.  I use the exact same lights on my '66.

The polished stainless steel housings and bezels are in great shape, the bezels have tiny imperfections which my camera can't pick up and are just as hard to notice in person.  One image shows the internal INOX stamp, the French word for stainless steel, you may have seen INOX on French knives.  The trim pieces at the 12 o'clock position, which usually get dented, are perfect!  Factory wiring and mounting hardware, which allows for 105 degrees of adjustment.  Totally complete, immaculate, and ready to install.  $285 plus $22 shipping within the US of A only please.  Yes, the cool stickers are included. Thanks for reading all of this...

Gavin, these are very cool... if you didn’t already hook me up with a beautiful set of early style Marchal’s I’d be all over them. Hope all is well. GLWS!!!

For those who don’t know - Schickentantz is a great guy to do business with and all of his lights are perfectly represented (the ones I bought were even nicer in person than they appeared online). Buy with confidence!

Yes, these are so gorgeous, it makes me want to buy a 1966 though 1969 ‘02! ?

 

GLWS,
