Guest mikeburch Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I have this tail light, where the mount seems to go through the fender or body sheet metal. The old grommet is still attached.Does anyone know what it is ?I have an extra tail-light body to go with it. The extra body has a good license lens.Both bodies marked, "VENDETTE".Thank you, mikeburchCLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I think you are possibly showing it upside down. Otherwise, it would look to be for a right-hand drive car.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikeburch Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 keiser ..................I thought of that, but the name on the bucket, "VEDETTE" is on the top, as shown. I guess that the car mfg. could have bought a generic light and then mounted it upside down.What car had the light bracket go through sheet metal ?I want to thank you for all your help. I have a trove of antique car parts, that I hope to get back on the road again.Thank you,mikeburch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 "Vedette" is a french word for "star", which may help. Both Simca and Ford sold cars in the 1950s and 60s by that name, but none used a light like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikeburch Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Dave@Moon ..........................I believe that it, almost, has to be off of a R/H drive car, unless it hangs down low. ?????Maybe, I'll post it in the European section.Thank you, mikeburch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Mike this tail light is for 26/7 Nash. The mounting bracket is bent, but they mount onto top of chassis. Could use the number plate lens, but don't need the rest.Viv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikeburch Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) viv w ............................. I want to thank you for identifying my weird tail light. I did not even consider, it being bent, perhaps, to fit another car. Things, like that, were done, back in the day. They call those, "farmer fixes".I don't want to sell the license lens, only. Someone will probably need that, too, to buy the complete outfit. Just the shipping, on the unit, would be too expensive to send it to you in Zimbabwe.Thank you,mikeburch Edited June 10, 2015 by mikeburch (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackStar Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have hundreds of license marker lenses. I have the trims and stop lens, but no complete light. I can try to fit it if you like... need some specific measurements._larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
