One of Ruxton's most noted features are its Woodlite-brand, cat-eyed headlights that typify the sleek look of the car and are adorned with a wing taken from the mythical griffin that serves as the Ruxton logo. Gone today are the rounded, oversized 'salad bowl' headlights and fender lights originally mounted on about 40 percent of Ruxtons. As Ruxtons aged and were scrapped, the Woodlites were salvaged and replaced the awkward-looking salad bowl lights.
This sedan (chassis 10C90) has had the sole surviving set of oversized lights installed. This car was purchased new by a Mr. Nichols from Pittsburgh who acquired it along with a second Ruxton (chassis 10C104) on the same day in 1931. These cars were reunited at the Pebble Beach Concours in 2014 for the first time since leaving Nichol's ownership in 1952. This car spent time in William Harrah's Collection then disappeared following a 1987 auction. The car still has much of its original well-worn interior.
