    Looks like you've got those cursed silverfish in your area, I thought they were only here in the Pacific Northwet.
    They're really bad for eating the bindings of old magazines and books, sometimes favouring one colour of ink.

    They don't eat plastic, thankfully!

    I haven't received them yet, but I believe the two larger white ones with the outside ring are '57 Ford. The single, smaller white one with three mounting holes looks to be '55 Ford. The multiple white ones might be '58 or '60 Chevy.

    I picked up a few more. The white ones are for a '61 Ford, the red ones are unknown, and the 64/65 Mustang pieces are reflectors that mount between the tail lights on the rear body panel. I'll take better photos when they arrive later this week.

    Thank you, I'm thrilled to get them! From what I'm told, they came from a long ago closed custom shop in New York.
    If you should ever find another pair or single of the white '55 Chevy lenses, I would love to have one or a pair. You're collection is fantastic!!

    20250218_162229.jpg 20250218_162408.jpg I received these in the mail today. Still not sure what some of them fit. I need to test fit one of the multiple smaller white, but I think that they may possibly be '63 Chevy? I'll post photos of measurements, for all of them.

    There's a pair of these unknown lenses. They appear to use a trim ring to mount them? 20250218_162815.jpg

    Another unknown single. This one appears that it requires a retaining ring as well. 20250218_162711.jpg

    I received these Lee Plastics 64-66 Mustang safety reflectors today. I've never seen any before, until now. 20250221_145118.jpg 20250221_145624.jpg 20250221_145222.jpg 20250221_145502.jpg 20250221_145512.jpg

  20. I remember seeing something like that on the Mustangs back in the day. Not sure they were lee or another brand. It looked pretty good on the Mustang.
