    I'm kinda stumped on which tail lights to run on my coupe. I don't really want '39's or '50 pontiacs but something different...

    Post up some lights, I'm interested to see what's out there.

  2. Did you Bob the frame horns out back?
     
  3. Pete.the 37 Ford tail lights usually look good. HRP

    Yea, horns are bobbed so the lights will most likely go in the panel below the deck lid.

    I like the '37 lights and actually have a pair, just wanted to see if there were any unusual light ideas.

    46-48 Ford car lights look good. Just use the inside housing, the lens and trim. Not the part that mounts to the fender.

    Stole these pics. 38 Desoto or 38 Chrysler or both. Eveythings played out and done to death I'm trying to come up with a unique light for my coupe too but in the end I know I'll just run 37s off the framerail.

    Very nice car, but those lenses stick out a bit too far or my taste.

    No doubt, I am way out of touch for show car prices,but that seems pretty silly to me-lots of options available for a lot less. Your money, your car, though.
