    Does anyone know where to get these things?

    I'm just lookin' for one...thought it might make a neat 3rd brake light for
    the '56 Effie...maybe frenched in below the rear window...

    I dunno...I was just flippin' thru some ol' mags waitin' for the rain to ease
    up...

    I can find a bunch of Model A type small round lights...I was hoping to find
    something a little "different" without going to a LED strip...:confused:...

    ThankX...

    I see them from time to time on ebay, they come in all shapes and colors. I don't know of anybody making repops except the round ford style.

    I'm putting one in my 48 Fleetline. I like 'em. If only I'd had one in the front that said "DON'T LEFT ACROSS 3 LANES SO I CAN HIT YOU, MORON!. Oh well.

    I once pulled one from a Stude' Wrecker that was in a wrecking yard, then sold it to a biker.

    I thought Henry started those???? Although I did get one for my little rigid they started on Model's....search ebay and you can find a crap load.

    I think he was talking about the tail light that originally came on Vincent motorcycles in the 40's or 50's, not the model a repop ones.
    Hopefully.
