  1. Can't go wrong with a set of Pontiac tail lights. IF you want to go different.

    If you can fix the body I'm sure you could hang tail lights on a cows ass and they'd look good.:cool:

    Here is what I used on a Motel T hot rod that I built.
    Simple yet sanitary IMO.

    A single '59 Caddy taillight shooting out of that hole.

    Hell, stuff 'em in all the rust holes, it'll look like an angry light up porcupine.

    cool lights, - but would look better recessed into a custom made rear pan /spreader bar cover / bumper, or whatever finishes off that area, rather than on the body.
    If it was full fendered, they may work on the fenders, but I doubt it……

    Those 50 Olds tailights look terrible on that 33 Dodge. Don't do it.
     
  12. Those Hudson lights are pretty unique, not loving the other ones.

    OOMPH. That style coupe needs round taillights. And back-up lights, turn signals and headlights.

    Here’s what I used on my 31 Model A, Buick D3887544-6DE6-4891-8936-5931A3B90916.jpeg
     
  20. Horizontal and Down low on the rear apron will look OK.
