    Hi guys, been a long time since I posted here. I recently had one of my headlight bezels fall off while driving. I am having a hard time figuring out what year and model they are off of. One of the owners before me put these on. I found the original parts list from the listing when I bought it and all it said was “custom headlight bezel”, so I don’t know if the last guy even knew. My car is a 53 Vickie and obviously these are not the stock ones. Anyone know what they are off of? I thought mid 50’s olds but can’t figure out which.

    Thanks all.

    I would look for a real '55 part. Or two.
    The Whitney ones look like they have some extra metal above the headlight between the black paint.

  9. The Ford bezel has the peak going right back to the fender to consider. Looks like the accessory part has a clever "dip" transition to fit the earlier rounded fender top - neat! I was ready to shout "'55 Ford" as well! Thanks squirrel!
