    I don't have dimensions or a picture but it looks just like the rumbleseat lid on my '31 Pontiac. Probably the same for most '31 and '32 GM cars.

    Can't help you with the trunk lid, but could you tell me what car is sitting behind it ?
    I bought a 41 ford coupe and its wearing a pair of those taillights.
    Sorry for the hijack, just curious to know what they fit.
    Thanks

    are the edges rounded on yours? they're square on mine, it's real close. i'm thinking 1931 -1933 gm but i don't know about which years are the same on those. here's some pics to show how it fit on a 34 chevy.

    it looks really close to yours on the inside, i'm thinking probably a different year.

    Was that a 34 Chevy Master or a 34 Standard that you tried it on? If it was a Standard, it wouldn't fit. Plus a 34 Standard had a wood framed trunk lid, while a 34 Master was all steel.

    The hinges look wrong for a 34 Master trunk lid, though. Don't know what 34 Master rumble seat lid hinges look like.
     
  14. The yellow lid is a 33, 34 master lid , and as torkwrench say's standard lids are smaller and wood lined
    ???

    the opening on the body in the photo has rounded edges, it looks to me that the yellow lid above also has rounded edges (radiused corners) the one i have has square corners and hinges are for a rumble seat configuration it appears.

    i don't know if it was a standard or master, i had sold it to a guy and that was his car but it ended up not fitting so i'm wanting to try to figure out what it fits for sure. if you look at the body in the photo, looks like the edges are rounded. same with on the yellow trunklid on mine they are square.
