    I have a 61 Caddy limo and the tailfin lenses and housings are missing. Are 60, 61, 62 tailfin lenses and housings the same?

    That's going to make things a bit harder.

    Some of the limo's and he****s had a slightly different rear lens in the fin. I know the lenses on a 63 m+m are different than standard.You should be OK but I would double check to make sure your good with the lights from a standard car before you spend.....

    I just got the USAPARTSSUPPLY catalog, (dated 2007) and they have listed for 61 - All. Some of the other year's lenses list Eldo and Brougham as different, but they may not even list the industrial ch***is cars... anyway, lenses are 99 bucks apeice there. :eek:

  10. I have a '61 Limo, a '62 Limo and '62 He****. They all use 1960 Cadillac lenses in the fins. They will not swap with any of the regular production caddys of the same years. So if you need replacements your gonna have to dig up some from a regular 1960 cad.
