What tailights are you guys using in your A sedans

Lookin for some different ideas. I have a set of old chrome semi cab lights I was thinking about using on mine. They bolt on the side and fit the profile of the car very nicely. I know its not traditional but I thought it looked kinda cool. I also have a set of tailights left over from my buick that I could use otherwise

 

Im gonna run a set of 62 impala light.Im not sere if Im gonna use all 4,or just 2.

 

I used stock A tailights I monted on stock A tailight fender mounts. I cut them off an used just the mounting pad and welded the pad to the bottom brace on the sedan body. The lights unbolt but the stands will stay.

 

...49-50 Ford p***. lites mite fit the rear body curve just under the beltline.

 

I have Harley lamps on the back of mine (installed by the original owner). These come from J & P Cycles http://www.jpcycles.com/?source=cj

I am looking at changing them, though. Currently I am considering small round Lucas lamps from a MG or Austin-Healy. I am also looking at '37 Ford tail lamps. I haven't made any decisions yet.

All that said I like the way the current ones look.

Good luck. — MRAK

 

50' Ford, Frenched, wide and down low.

 

some kind of 60s vette

 

NICE stance max wedge and flop!!!

 

I used the old standby. I have never run a set so I couldn't resist.

 

yeah might be used up but I think i'm going with 59 caddy lights i think thats the look I like if you go to the thread aulstralian nationals there is a sedan with 58 impala front marker light bezels for taillights that was my first idea still might mix the two not sure either
oh those are the lights im talking about that light set up is cool I was thinking to do that set up in #14 awesome

 

I'll be running '64 Impala tails on mine, just a pair...I like the idea of large highly visible taillights, trying to look cool isn't worth being rearended...

 

Saw a full-fendered A sedan with H-D "tombstone" taillights, and they looked like they were born there. Sorry I don't have a picture of the car.

hit enter to early, Max what tailights are those? I also like the ones in binga's post. What are those out of?

 

I just did the ole Pontiac lights, with a slight recess.

 

to me, sedan taillights look horrid when mounted so high up. it's just gross, even on the super low cars. i duno, just never looks right. anyway, nice ride mrak!

 

No, It's still at Austin Speed.

Those are top secret '58 Olds marker lights...front bumper.

 

...Flop, your A is the nuts, I really like it; hope it's pretty well "done".

 

My '29 phaeton is the same basic shape in the back and it has '49 Hudson ***emblies turned unside down. I'll get a pic up if anyone is interested.

 

I've used 39 ford, 41-48 chevy and 40 pontiac, all look good

 

acouple random pics

 

Thanks for the pics guys. Some pretty creative ideas out there

 

Vaphead's got 39's for like 30 bucks a pair. That is what i'm going to use. Check him out Riley-auto.com. Great guy. By the way how much did you chop that car. Looks good.

 

baaaah i sold it to a doctor rusty1 for way to much money couldnt p*** the offer up.

 

50 Pontiac with the blue dot. Sorry no pics, got them yesterday and dropped them off at the bodyshop this afternoon. They look really nice though.

 

I really like the idea of the 58 Impala parking light bezels. How about a set of 59 Caddy lenses in them?

 

Yea would also like to see some more picks. Getting close to workin on the rear body. Was thinking about some frenched 41 chevy's? Need some ideals too.
