    Not looking for the norm 37 or 39 Ford taillights etc. Looking for something round...I don't know. The taillights I had planned to use aren't looking right just looking for some more ideas than I could find on a search.
    If you could state the year and make that would be great....
    Take care and thanks

  3. These are reproduction 51 Pontiac tail lights---they will mount to a flat surface, also look really good recessed into a bit of round tubing. They are available through most hotrod aftermarket shops.

    Those look more like '39 Chevy tail lights. Great looking car btw. I need a driver side '39 tail light. Nick

    Thanks guys...got some Pontiacs lying around may just use them. I also got some 61 Olds that I was saving for my T coupe. I hate it when things don't work out and I have to change plans. The 61's were meant for the coupe and would break the A rule of 55 or older. Its just that it seems like everyone and their brother is running Pontiacs.
    Thanks again
    Mike

    Try a look at '50 - '52 Buick Roadmasters lenses, they're round with a short bullitt tip. A housing would have to be fabricated but they I think they would look bitchin. The previous pics rock though.

    Thanks for all of the pics guys...I think I am going to run a pair of 61 Oldsmobile taillights. I have a couple of pairs and they look like they will work well.

    might look a bit big,but i'm using the taillights out of my ol 64 galaxy.the instrumentation and drivetrain aswell.the tails are neat,cause they have a reverse light in em,which i will switch to a red lens,and use as a signal,alternating from outside light to inside light,and brake will light both lamps per side.the car in the pic is an example,not mine.

    I thought about those as well...just a little to big for me though. The alternating light idea sounds cool!
