    Good day Fellas, need your help in identifying the right headlight bezel in these pics. I got these off Ebay, Fat Fender Relics-Dave, and were listed as possible "51, 52, 53 Cadillac headlight bezel ?", but i cannot find any 50's, 60's Cadillac pictures with this type of bezel on them. So i'm thinking they must be a different make and/or year. Thanks in advance for your help, greatly appreciated!

    Remember the fender covers up the bezel on top, I'm not sure of the years though.

    Try searching for Cadillac headlight bezels and not the just the car.

    They look like 53 Cadillac to me. They also bolt right up to a 53-54 Chevy fender for a custom look. Thought about getting some for my 54. But will French them instead.
    Nice find though!

    Cadillac had headlight rims like those in 1953, also many aftermarkets co. made them also and were sold as accessory for other cars

    The one on the left looks like it may fit a '56 Buick.
