    Packard lights have a little bit different shape. They are '56 Chevy bubble lenses.

    69-72 Blazer side marker lights modified for use with 1157 bulbs. (I also redid the edges in br*** instead of the original chrome). available new aftermarket for a few bucks. flush mount. the Blazer uses this twin lens unit OEM.

    What year Es*** ? Other guy what year Packard? 56 Would take a lot of work. How about a Model A light or 32, or 33 Ford, Or some thing realy off the wall, like VW monuted on rear fenders?

    They look sad and droopy. Looks like the top edge drops down too far.

    Well, these were knocked up using some parts I had laying around, but I know they can all be bought aftermarket;

    If they should float your boat at all here's a link to what can be laughingly described as the tech thread;

    Perhaps I should add the Impala cones fit over the top of the 59 caddy bulb holders, (with a little persuasion:D) with two screws, which means you could flush mount them if you didn't want the h***le of Frenching.
    Hope this is of some help to you, good luck whatever you decide.

    I'd like to see the car to determine what lights might be appropriate for the style of car. A rod would use something different than say a stock look, or custom look.
