Lucas is a British company that makes electrical parts. Nissan was affiliated with the Austin Motor Company of England through the '50s to build British cars in Asia. That ended before the '60s I believe. Those cars may have used some Lucas parts, maybe. Nothing I know of uses them. MGs, Triumphs, Heallys, BSAs, Nortons almost anything from Britain would have some Lucas electrical parts in them.

 

Lusas is also known as "The Prince Of Darkness" because of their terrible design and quality headlights, bulbs and wiring.

Possibly an interior courtesy lamp. Not 410 or 411.

well it has no wiring to it. in the top oic the stuff in the center is like thin aluminum and the back is rubber. it almost seems like a placard for something. is it possible its worth millions?

Millions of Zimbabwean dollars, maybe. Might have been the backing plate to a reflector.
