  • MORE INFO:  General Electric (50%), Tung-Sol (25%), and Westinghouse (25%) all supplied headlamp bulbs to Chrysler Corporation through the sixties and seventies.  Ford used a lot of GE bulbs.  AMC did not.
  • Fluting pattern refers to the grid of ridges in the front glass lens.  Wide flutes are 1/4" wide and narrow flutes are 1/8" wide.  See the next to last pic above for a side-by-side comparison.  Narrow flute bulbs have some wide flutes, but wide flute bulbs have NO narrow flutes. 
  • The 4000 was introduced by the industry on 12/29/1969 and the 4002 was phased out by the end of 1973.  The 4000 is brighter than the 4002 it replaces, hence GE's "Plus 25" designation.  Only the very early "Plus 25" bulbs like these had wide flutes and were identical to the old 4002 except for the ink stamp on the back (which doesn't show once installed) and the brighter filament.  Most of the 4000 bulbs produced were narrow flute versions.  Almost all of the GE 4000 and 4001 bulbs packaged in the common blue and yellow boxes (like the last pic above of a 4001 box) have narrow flutes.
  • If the box says "Also replaces 5001" it's narrow flute.
  • If the box is yellow (Westinghouse, Philips, GE) it's narrow flute.
  • During the 1961 model year, GE, as well as Tung-Sol, made noticeable appearance changes in their headlamps.  Your 1961 model Chrysler product could have been delivered with either the earlier style or the style for sale here.

Porsche to add 1,000 employees

Mon, 14 Feb 2011

To keep pace with its planned model expansion and sales targets, Porsche AG will add more than 1,000 employees by 2015, Automotive News Europe has learned from Volkswagen Group sources. About 500 jobs will be added for production of Porsche's new compact SUV, codenamed the Cajun, which will go on sale in 2013 in Europe and in North America about six months later. Porsche's supervisory board will make a decision on the production location of the Cajun in mid-March.

Jaguar readying SUV for Frankfurt motor show

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

While the next new Jaguar model slated for dealerships is a BMW 3-series fighter rumored to be called the XS, Autoweek sources have confirmed the company will also be showing an SUV at the Frankfurt motor show in September. Likely to be named XQ or Q-type, the Jaguar SUV is expected to ride on a version of the XS platform (itself a variation on the aluminum XJ architecture) rather than share a platform with a Land Rover product. Slated for 2016 production, the new Jaguar XQ SUV will share some powertrain technology with Land Rover, specifically the Ford I-4 engines from the Evoque.

See what Milwaukee uses for road de-icing

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

There are a few different ways to make icy roads drivable, including spreading sand and salt on them. Here in Detroit, we use tons and tons (and tons) of rock salt on our crumbling roads in part because we're sitting on unbelievably massive salt deposits. Wisconsin is sitting on massive deposits, too -- of cheese brine.
