Early 70's accessory light lens
 

Can anyone identify the accessory lamp lens in the below pics?
It was a factory supplied part for the 71/72 Alouette factory race sleds to comply w/ some sanctioning body rules for mandatory lights and sourced from an unknown supplier.
Looking at the backside view broken lens picture you can see the funky block letters D and R of the word DRIVING which was vertically embossed in the lens also what looks like part of a logo w/ a swoopy backwards C.
I've tried searching everywhere for months w/ zero luck and being it's probably an aftermarket car accessory am hoping someone here may recognize it or even the logo brand name?

Thanks fellas!

I have a friend back in Minnesota that is very into racing sleds especially vintage sleds and owns a 73 Brut. I have no idea of he can help but it is somewhere to start. Your PM file is full and I would rather not post his information on line so send me an email and I will pass along his name and contact information onto you. Hope he can help you.

Thanks Rick I appreciate the connection!
Anyone else please take a look at old accessory lamps or catalogues you may have as just identifying what it is would be great!
Even a yellow lens would be fine if the same vertical DRIVING word and logo are cast into the glass.

Thanks!

You may want to research old aircraft parts. If i recall correctly, the foglamps used on the 70 and 71 cudas used the same bulbs as an aircraft landing light. This may be a similar case.

WoW Steve and thanks for the great thought also cool info re the Cuda lamps!
I've looked at countless accessory and tractor lamps to no avail but aircraft stuff is a whole new avenue to search.
BTW Steve, great to see Lance hooked you up w/ the Ontario info for your '72 Formula!

No problem. Now that I look at that photo of the snowmobile again, I am amazed: They make the effort to make it safe with a plexiglas windscreen and then throw a big hunk of untempered glass right in front of the rider's face. Nice bunch of irrational rules conflicting with each other. Was this a government regulation perhaps? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
