    I picked this up a few years ago and want to put it on a small trailer to pull behind my 32 c-dan.

    They look like they could be late 30's Caddy or Lasalle tail lights
     
  5. The best thing about building a traditional hot rod is that you don't have to know what a cool part came from in order to use it. No idea what it's from but I like it.

    Its a 1937 Cadillac lense, but unless the housing was two parts (that being the aft part with a curved half for the fender?) then what you have may have fit a hearse or ambulance?

  14. I sure don't know but if I had to fathom a guess if not Nash then Husdon.

    It is a durned good looking light by the way.

    the ones pictured in post 12 are on craiglist in Charles City, Va for $50.00. they were priced at $80.00 at one time and incorrectly called 41 dodge. The difference is the Dodge had a hole in the bottom. They both took the same lens though.

    no, that 41 dodge that is pictured from carnut has the hole where the handle is. the back peice is all one peice and extends down and has the hole in it.

    ok, i went to the taillight king site and found these pictures
    [​IMG]
    1948 Nash

    [​IMG]
    1941 Dodge

    Notice the Dodge back bezel? is longer and has a hole in front for the handle. the Nash doesn't.
