    I am down to the last few things to install on my model A coupe. And was thinking about some 49-50 Ford taillights. Has anyone used these and does anyone have some pictures of them installed? I like the 46 Buick lights but, haven't found any complete and in good shape.
    I do not want 50 poncho taillights or 39 teardrops just looking for other options. Thanks!

    I don't have any pics but stick them up there and if you like it go for it.

    '49-'50 taillights are curved, and the ellipse shape doesn't go with any of the surrounding lines.

    A great choice is the '46-'48 Ford taillights, they install in the flat rear panel flush, requiring only a center cutout and two 1/4" holes.
    Mount them horizontal or vertical, they have a nice stainless bezel.

    They look and fit fine if you French them. That's what I did on mine.
