    I couldn't find a rear view photo to back up my bet... But I'm thinking Chrysler Town and Country (woody). 47/48 maybe?

    Top is too small for an Olds, they had a large top marker.
    T&C's had a stocky square light. Hmmmm.... still lookin.
     
  9. I am thinking they look more 59-62 to me, alot of cars had really neat, different tailights, like the mercury meteor and such.....

    The pair that I have I purchaced on E- Bay and they thought there were 51-52 Olds but the circle is on the bottom and not the top like mine and also this a one piece spear and the Olds is a 2 piece. I need to find out what they are from so a can locate lenses. My idea is to graft them into the rear fenders of my 46 Dynamic Cruzer 2 Door.

    MOPAR: With out the upper spear they look like my 39 Dodge tail light, very similar lense opening and the little round opening had a nonfunctional red gl*** reflector.

    Close, but not quite the same. Look at the bottom of the cast, the Dodge comes to a kind of point, also the refelctor on the Dodge isn't roud, it's kind of oval shaped....

    the only 2 I know of are the Taillightking.com. That is the same one in my post 18. I just realized his home page link doesn't work from there but if you search Taillightking his home page comes up that way. he wants $25.00 each for NOS. If I remember correctly, they are located inTexas.

    Then the other one is on ebay. Auction # 260513164973. They want $14.99 each for NOS. Both parties have 4 each. Located in PA.

    Most definitely not '49 Dodge Coronet 4 dr. I was just cleaning a spare pair this evening. They have a round 7/8" reflector and are solid under the main lens. A bit narrower too, I believe. Also more rounded but generally of the same shape ( as you can see it the pic, above)
