Hows it going, need some help identifying some mid 50's chevy parts, im helping a freinds widow clean up and sell some of her husbands car parts and i found a few things im not certain on, i have this pair of tailights that i was thinking were posibly canadian chevy? and maybe the headlight rings too? he had 53 and 54 chevs so i was thinking they were from one of those but they arent cause i know what 53and 54 taillights look like, could they have been an option? The stuff will be available so if anyones interested, im not trying to make this a how much is it worth thread, maybe just a reasonable price estimate, she still has medical bills from her late husband so im trying to help her raise some funds. thanks jeff
Tail lights are 54, maybe 53 Pontiac. I think Royal shifter is right on the bezels-54(?), 55-56 Olds. The tail lights are not too common, will fit a Chevy.
didnt pontiacs have round tailights? i looked at pics of olds headlight rings and none had the flair. I know the taillights fit the 53 and 54 chev, but im just trying to figure out that they are, i had a 54 taillight bezel i campared it to and it was exactly the same outside shape. JEFF
Thanks man, i knew i seen the tailights but just couldnt place em. the headlight rings i never would have known, did they fit 53/54 chevs? thanks
i looked into that first, the canadian pontics just had normal chevy taillights in them. anyone know what a fair price would be on these items? jeff
My '58 and '57 Canadian Pontiacs have Pontiac taillights. The only things Chevy are the ch***is and engine. They're Guide lights, they should have the date molded into them. Shawn
I think he means the 53-54 Canadian Pontiacs, there are some years in the 49-54 range, particularly some 53-54s, that look like a Chevy with a Pontiac grille stuck in it. I'm almost more surprised the Canadians didn't use these lights too. But the wagon answer doesn't surprise me, 55-56 Pontiac wagons also share Chevy quarters and have a chrome filler with the round Pontiac light on it that bolts right into a Chevy fender for some instant customizing. By then the Canada version used a more pure Pontiac body shell.
***us, I am interested in the taillights. Please let me know how much you would like to have for them. Thanks.
