Can't really comment on the history. But mooneyes sells nice reproductions of the 54 Chevy bubble lenses. What I'm running in my 53 bel air and what I'm going to get for my 54 210
I had to add an extra gasket as I believe you're supposed to use the original reflective ring from the 54 tail lights as a spacer. But otherwise great. And gaskets are super cheap. Another perk was mooneyes got them to me FAST. But nearly a year later they still look new. If your current bezels show some age the repop 54 bezels speedway sells look good and are decent quality. Just try to reuse original screws lol
Here’s my long running Lee tail lights thread. I have a pretty big collection of them and am always looking for more… https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/lee-plastics-tail-light-lenses.1025773/
