It does look that way... Good observation. Did a '36 only have one tail light from the factory? Someone could have added those so it had 2 due to different laws, I dont know.

I ran across this one today, and decided it should go home with me.




Stay tuned. I'll post more pics of our adventure to get it to the shop./QUOTE]


I did some work on one of these years ago. There is one around the corner from my workshop. It's on rhe road not resting rusting thought.

The same lights were used on the 40 cars as well.

Totally 100 percent agree!
Someone save this car.

Both of them look solid and buildable, looks like it wouldn't take too much to get either of them driveable. Some us like 4 doors.

Not as familiar with GM cars, but Fords had a single taillight on Standard models up through '40, Deluxe had two taillights, passenger side taillight was optional on Standard. I think some states started requiring two taillights in the late '30s and new cars sold there had to have two. Many pickups came standard with a single taillight into the early '50s.
