JoeShmoe Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have a NOS tailite trim and glass that I believe is probably a Mopar application, as it has a square cluster of initials "D P C D" which I'm guessing means Dodge-Plymouth-Chrysler-Desoto. On the casting it says "Sedans Left" and has a number 876903 DG. The letters on the glass are hard to read, but I think say ILCO 2243 and CB (or C8)6212. These parts originated from a building that was a Chrysler dealer in the thirties thru 50's for another clue. If I can find out what it's for, maybe I can get it back in circulation for someone who needs it. Thanks for the help! Joe G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 1946-48 Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Commodore Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 No I think it is 1940 Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I go with Dave Moon. The 40 has a little red reflector in the bezel that I don't see on the light in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 What about 1941 & 42? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeShmoe Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 There is a place at the top that appears to accept a cap or cover or another piece, that possible could hold a reflector? this appears to be 2 out of three pieces of the "Big picture". I'll try to get a picture showing the top center better; it's not finished to as high of a shine as the sides. I'll try the other pictures I've got...I may have to take some more.

keiser31 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The part number on the casting should tell you the exact year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeShmoe Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 The part number on the casting is 876903. There also is a DG on the casting. I guess the number's not much good without a parts book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That number lens was sold on eBay recently as for a 1940 Chrysler, and the 1946-48 lens I thought it was (while similarly fluted) has a flatter face than this one.

Guest 1940windsor Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Good looking glass. I need to get a new set for my '40. The previous owner put in blue dots, which I don't like. Did a good job on them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeShmoe Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Good looking glass. I need to get a new set for my '40. The previous owner put in blue dots, which I don't like. Did a good job on them though. I put it on Ebay item 161242043762. I'm hoping someone can use it. I'm a Cadillac guy. At auction I bought a "lot" of Cadillac stuff with this "red-headed stepchild" thrown in because I needed the other items. If you have ANY interest, hit the ebay auction or PM me with an offer. In other words, I didn't get it for NOTHING, but I don't need it and I'm not needing it to fund my retirement either! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
