    41 Studebaker are THE tail light, however at $450.00 a pair, i'm going for somethin' else on my '46. Make a template of the contour / area you want the tail light mounted, off to the local recycler / junk / pick a part with template in hand, find somethin' you like and go from there. DONT use the bolt on Pontiac lights they are even uglier then the originals. (I'm waiting for the flak.)

    Problem with '41 rear fenders is that they taper so much that a tail light like a 'vet point outward unless they're tunneled then they can be hard to see.

    Don't change for the sake of change. The '41 are good looking. Shave elsewhere, starting with the left rear fender chrome, and send it to me.
