I need two tail light lenses and trim rings for a 38 Stude tail light. Does someone reproduce these or does someone have a couple they could part with?

Thanks, John

Can anyone tell me if the leses and rings where used by some other auto in the late 30's? Maybe I can cross reference them to something else--Hudson, Packard???

Thanks again, John

I have a 37 dictator and lost 1 of mine. After searching online for a while I found that lenses and rings from a 1937 plymouth fit just fine. Stude lenses are concaved and plymouth lenses are flat.
I know you have a 38 but maybe you might be able to look at 38 plymouth lenses and see.
Hope that helps.
Ron

Thanks Ron,

I think the 36 37 and 38 tail lights are different in design, but use the same lenses--I hope anyway.

Does anyone know if the 37 and 38 tail light lenses and rings are the same?

Thanks, John

Thanks all for the ebay listing, but i did get some very good tail light housing, but still need the chome ring and leses

So if anyone has lenses and chome rings Please let me know--I have a feeling these are going to be even harder to get in good condition--the ones on ebay are really rough and one lens is broken.
