Can you get the part number that is molded into the inside of the die-cast housing? If so, it will be really easy to decode the part number to find the exact model and model year of the part.

Re: big unmarked taillight assy.

It is close to a 66 ford fairlane, but some differences. May be from another FOMOCO from that era? I believe it may install vertical.

Arrow Re: big unmarked taillight assy.

It's hard to tell from this photo, but if there's a slight curve to the long sides of the taillight then these are likely off of a 1966 Ford full-size wagon.

Dave, On the 66 station wagon, the back up light insert was almost square, not a rectangle and the chrome bar did not go all the way across.. Think we are in the right timeframe and company, but still not the right car in my opinion.

I agree. However the '65, '67 and '68 units are different, as are the Ranchero lights from those years. I could not find any '66 Fairlane wagon light images (until now), but the other years were different and I assumed (incorrectly) that the Ranchero and wagon units were the same in '66, like they are in '67.

I found '66 Fairlane wagon lights ( My New 66 Fairlane Wagon....Back on Flickr - Photo Sharing! ). They look more like these lights than any other I've found, but they lack the "crosshair" decoration.

I think these may be a 1966 Canadian model's lights, either full-size, Ranchero. or Fairlane wagon clone in the Meteor or Monarch line. 1966 Meteor models in particular were noted for their "unique" taillights ( FORD OF CANADA HERITAGE )

I have come close too, but no match. I agree it could be Canadian.

Re: big unmarked taillight assy.

The back up light on the 1966 Ford Wagon is horizontal instead of vertical like the one in question.

It is not 1966 Ford. It is something close. I can't find a photo but my fuzzy memory makes me think that a 1969 Mercury Montego wagon tail light looks like the one in question.
