    What are these tail lights from that are mounted on this '38 Chevy? I initially thought Buick or Pontiac, but the lenses look square. I checked The Mother Of All Tail Lights Threads, but I didn't find anything.  1000002530001.jpg

    OP picture shows the lens to have squared-ish edge, don't think they are Pontiac.

  8. Yeah, I don't think those are Pontiac either... Probably aftermarket used on trucks, trailers and early kit cars.

  9. is it just me... does the lense look like it has a sloppy fit in the bezel? Maybe the bezel is something different like a domelight bezel? Just thinkin' aloud...

    Probably a Pontiac light with a different lense

    '29 Gizmo, that's the shape of the lenses. The picture doesn't show it clearly on the driver side, but you can see it on the passenger side light.
