    Could be aftermarket dress ups from JC Whitney etc. They are very cool.

    They're not Buicks or Olds.

    I'm pretty sure they're Buick. Identical to the ones on my '55.

    Those are off a Roadmaster. Specials had round turn signals molded into the body and the Roadmasters had them as part of the headlamp ring.

    In looking for something else, I found this. In case there were different aftermarket versions, here are some numbers that might help.

    Almquist, 1965.
