Were glass lenses ever used from the factory on 42to48 Super series? If so where might I find a pair of each?

I believe they were all plastic--and 1940s era plastic at that. I'm pretty sure 1940 was the last year for glass tail light lenses. I have a large cache of NOS taillight lenses for my '41, since they made 3 or 4 different versions for the various body styles and it's hard to tell them apart--I usually buy them whenever I see them just in case and to have some spares. UV light wreaks havoc on the old plastic making them chalky and pink.

I think tail light lenses were the same as 1941 in '42 and even in '46. Specials may have kept the 1941 design even longer.

Does this help?
