I just purchased a 1960 Parkwood wagon and found these wrapped in newspaper in the spare tire well. I dont think they belong to this car but, I could be wrong. Anybody? Sean
I'd want to say back-up lamp delete covers, but '60s had rectangular BU lamps on the wagons, and the Impy had standard BU lamps (in the 6-tails set-up). Do the screw holes match up to those of your car's taillights at all? Bezels appear to be a different contour, too... '60 Parkwood:
Back up delete plates seem to be a popular answer but, the sixty wagon does not have round backup lights. I think "case closed" is a little premature.
Johnny - Very funny! Off the subject a bit, Ive seen your car several times, very nice. I have to admit, I copied your wheel combo for my Chevy II project. Sean
back up light deletes for 55 olds, probly fit a few other models and different gm makes as well, they look to be in pretty good shape.
I just sold a '54 Oldsmobile that has something very similar. most pics I found have backup lights.. this is the only one that sorta shows the delete plates.
I think you guys have nailed it! To think I found them in the spare tire well of a 60 Parkwood wagon is awesome. Im going to give this car a TSA screening in the morning to see if I can turn up any other treasures. Thanks everyone!
You have to be FAIR about this now ! "BrokeBastards" won them with the FIRST post to get the correct answer ! Now man up and mail them to him or you won't be able to hold another contest on "Guess What This Part Fits" show ever again ! That's the rules and you should have read them first before you started the contest ! I am sure everyone else will agree with me on this one as well . You just gotta play by the rules around here ! That's all there is too it ! Isn't this just a fun place to be ? Retro Jim
