You will notice on the left side of the windshield base right below the folding mechanism three holes that may have bolts in them.This is where the Lorraine spotlamp bracket bolts.It is sort of horn shaped.The shaft of the lamp goes through this bracket and the lamp control handle is by the steering wheel.I own a very original 1929 Sport Roadster with her original Lorraine lamp.There is no provision for windwings.The phaetons,roadster and touring cars all came with this spotlamp.It is a difficult lamp to find but you might contact American Arrow as they make new spotlamps similar to the Lorraines and may be able to supply a lamp and bracket.If you have Brooks Brierley’s book on Pierce Arrow,there is a factory photo of a 1929 Roadster with the Lorraine lamp.The windings would have to be of a design to clear the lamp and their mounting requires drilling.I have an original accessory list for the 1929’s with all prices and do not recall windwings being on the list nor are they in the parts book.The spotlamp on the driver’s side was standard and not an option on these 1929 open cars.
