I don't know the exact lens, but they were two lens with the bottom one inverted. It had a little piece on the car saying the chop and taillight treatment was completed in the 50's.
Nice pix, they look like two pair of 55 Lincoln taillights. One set upside down under a set right side up. The owner said that people have told him that Winfield did the chop on it but he will not admit it because he does not like the chop.

Very cool customs and hot rods, just wished people would leave their hoods closed. An open hood just shoots down a cars lines. i do like this Merc. CRUISER
The 3rd car down is my buddy Travis' car. That is a really nice car. Pictures dont do it justice. The first time i saw it I went back like 6 times to look at it again. There is so much detail in that car its insane.
