Owen_Dyneto Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 These lenses were reproduced (in plastic) some time ago, have you tried Max Merritt? I believe he also has the buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Buckets are the same as '32 Model 900 but the lenses differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1928Packard526 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Z71Hobbs —If you are a little adventuresome, you can cast your own if you have at least the pieces of a the correct lenses. I have cast replacement lenses for my '28 526 and a trunk lite on my '29 Lincoln. "Skinned Knuckles" had several articles describing the process in the early eighties, I believe. I followed their "recipe" and it worked quite well. So well that several people I have challenged to point out the plastic replacement couldn't do it until they actually touched the lens. Glass feels colder. Craft stores have all the materials you will need, including a red dye to make the stop light lens. If you are interested in pursuing this, email me at: pflaumer1@earthlink.com and I will dig for the original articles by Bill Cannon.Regards, Pete P.

Clipper47 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 There is a 32 tailight lens for sale on Ebay now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I believe the 902 lense is larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1928Packard526 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 There is a gentleman offering his services in reproducing auto lenses on the "Lincoln & Zephyr" thread of this forum. He invites inquiries at his email address.kc_lee@cox.netYou might check him out if you have a good example of what is needed. Pete P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z71Hobbs Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ok...Found almost everything I need. Except for the darn lenses.I am really hoping that somebody somewhere has seen these, or has a box of old parts that they have not looked through in a while.The 1932 Lenses, while not entirely incorrect nor correct, are full fluted.There are two pictures attached to show the differences.The first picture is the 1933 lense, and the second picture is the 1932 lense.

Guest superods Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I could use two complete tail light assemblies for my two second chance 33 / 34 's if anyone has any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbirdman Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 There's a 34 lens on EBAY now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbirdman Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 OK here's a 33 on EBAY! May the bidding war begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 This lense would not be correct for a '33 1001. The correct lense is 3 3/4" diameter and is not fully fluted but rather has a "bullseye" in the center. Same as '33 Chrysler I believe. Buckets for the '33 1001 are the same as '32 900 and smaller than the other series buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superods Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ex-Birdman... AKA CADDYMAN... shhh. Did you not see my request for two complete sets of either 33 or 34 rear lights for my second chance bodies ? Besides I am going over to see the man Firday morning to buy what he has that I need for them. He has other parts...lives just an hour from me. And I do have one 1933 complete rear light set off the sedan I bought out in California this summer. If the guy wants the real lenses he can send me repros and buy your steering wheel and send it to me and will send him two lenses. Is that fair Birdman? Heck you do not want that much for that steering wheel do you ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
