Round taillight suggestions?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by flyin'eye, Dec 19, 2004.

  1. I'm gonna change the taillights in my 62 Ranchero again, I'm looking for some suggestions. I need something round, about 4-6 inches in diameter. I'm thinking maybe 61-62 starliner/galaxie, 57 Ford, something like that, but I would like something thats not that common. Anybody know of anything buick, olds, pontiac, maybe mopar that would work? Whatever I decide, I'l probably wind up sinking them an inch or so into the rear quarters.

    59 Buicks are a natural for the Falcon.

    39' Chryler Airflow? I think that's the car. Round tail lights with a cover that looks like a dart board. Coolest tail lights I've ever seen.
     
  4. The 59 Buick idea is interesting, although I think they would look better flush mounted...That would look great and save me some metalwork.

    I have a 62 wag, I used the original tail lights, removed the outer ally and recessed them in a cone 2", I don't have a photo but they look pretty cool, alot of guys say theres some thing different but I don't know what.

    Not sure if they are big enough diameter, but how about 53-54 Buick? Just put '54's in my '58 Chevy and I have 53's in my coupe. Both are nice big bullet lights.

    How about 56 Olds? They have a "bullet" look to them, sorry no pic, I'm at work.

    Those Buick lights are cool. They'd get my vote, so far.

    I have a pair of those '60 Dodge tail lights if they don't need to be perfect. PM me.
