I am trying to come up with some good looking tailight lenses for my '53..some input on different types of tailights that work on these '53-'54 chevys...how bout '54 merc lenses..?
Some year dodge the whole taillight assembly would work. I liked using the 54 Chevy and cutting another top to fit in place of the white backup lens.
In my opinion the original ones in full red are by far the best looking tail lights in 53-54 Chevrolet.
I'm partial to Lee lenses frenched in. But, looks good with the factory bezels too. As evidenced by the photo in the post above.
Your idea about '54 Merc's isn't bad, but the next best thing, and much rarer, would be a pair of '56 Chrysler lenses. Same type of "tilt"but a little thinner. Whatever you do, good luck ! That's a nice Chev !! Jonnie www.legends.thewwbc.net
I don't have any pictures but 1953-54 Pontiac wagon taillights are a nice bolt on. Bruce in Saugerties
What about a 49-51? Shoebox Ford taillight turned vertical like yours is factory. Suttle, yet custom!
Art "Crazy Art" Fullerton, on his two '53 BelAir sedans used frenched, recessed & vertical '51 Ford taillites, with the top & bottom lens points just showing.... I thought the lens shape and longer body worked very nicely on his Chevys... DYNO DAVE
Probably wouldnt even come close to working but I have thought about what 58 tail lights, turned up would look like on a 53/54
My car came with 59 caddy tails but I am going to cut these off with the custom section of 1/4 to replace with 56 Packard, anyone interested in the set? If so make offers
