36 Chrysler airflow art deco tail lights

On my T project I decided I wanted Bullet shaped tail lights similar to the 37 ford but a little more art deco. I sourced a set a 36 Chrysler airflow lenses. Complete tail lights sell for a lot and they were pods that came off of the fender.




I picked up a set of 37 Dodge tail lights but the lenses were the same diameter as the buckets so the retaining rings would not work. As I was trying to figure out what to use for retaining rings I came across this 34 Desoto airflow on ebay. Exactly what I was looking for.



When I usually see these airflow lenses there mounted on the rear pan of a 32 or model a like a set of 51 Pontiac's. This got me thinking that maybe I could use 51 Pontiac bezels. I found a place that sold the bezels only and after some serious modifications was able to make them work. Retained them with 2 little screws.

 

I dig it. I want to see them mounted.

 

very cool indeed.

 

nice lights...big bucks

 

Those are beautifull. Would love to see em mounted.

 

very cool
