Here is what the spot light should look like. Made by Unity manufacturing.

A 'little' different? How about the switch and the shape of the lamp itself? Those seem to be more than a 'little' different as well.

Lobo, Your Unity light is a much later version and has a sealed beam bulb. The 1935 version uses a bulb and reflector combination. All Unity lights were an accessory and not standard from Ford. Here is the 35 version.

Model D-1 was available between 1933 and 1939. Model D-4 was available between 1939 and 1944. There are a couple on Ebay now: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=sportlight&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H1.Xunity+sportlight.TRS1&_nkw=unity+sportlight&_sacat=0 This message was edited by Whifty on 4-4-18 @ 11:31 AM

I would make a guess, based on my experience, that the Unity light with the "hood" over the ring attachment came out in the late '40's, early '50's.. The majority of the accessories sold on cars during the 1930's-'40's were dealer installed. The manufactures did not want to add to the unladen weight, nor did the dealers, which resulted in an added cost of the vehicle. I worked in the new car prep department in a Ford Dealership in the late '40's, early '50's. New cars came in dry, no oil or water. A lot of hard work pulling cars out of a RR box car when it could not be started until we got the vehicle on the loading dock and added the fluids and a battery. Hmmmm?. The old documentary films show the vehicles being driven out of the factoryt, good trick with no water, oil or gas in them.. Bill 36 5 win delx cpe
