    The rear bumper and housing is Buick
    For the lights i would guess for a kind of cheap red universal type
    The plates looks like finnish.

    Yes, 100% correct! I had a brain fart...I even have one of those bumpers! D'oh.
    (At least I got the white light bit right.:rolleyes:)
     
  8. Agree Buick. 1950 bumper. 1952, I believe, trunk lid.

    Yes plates are old Helsinki-plates (capitol of Finland)

    Lights could be Sunbeam Imp tail lights... They were used in many finnish built cars during seventies and eighties...

    Rear of the car is not the same today, so you can´t check it any more...

    I definitely can’t tell from a photo if the bumper is defiant or not.

    Most states require the tail lights to be at least 15 inches off the ground some 20.
