Identify this 1930s Buick tail light?

[Pete Phillips]

Can anyone help me identify this Buick tail light? I think it is 1933 or 1934, but that is just a guess.

Leif,

It does not have the curved, chrome dividing bar over the lens, so for that reason I don't think it is 1933???

From the picture, it looks like a right hand side ( passenger) stansion for a 33 Buick , model with no sidemounts, and a Ford bucket installed.

Wild guess tho- I've got a bucket just like that in my parts box off an old Ford trailer.

Good luck-

Outlaw car man is correct.

1933 stanchion with incorrect light fitted ( Ford?? ).

Took this photo at Hershey back in 1997, doubt you would see a collection of taillights like this anymore!!

Several 1933 lights in the photo including the one being held and various others including 1934/35.

$250 in 1997, what are they worth now?

I'm 99% sure the bracket is for a 1933 without sidemounts. The taillight is not correct for any Buick. The door and lenses are the same for 1932 and 1933 models. There are some common buckets between the years as well as some differences. 1933 models with side mounts do not have a badge bar on the right rear and therfore do not need the outlook lense.

It is a 1933 Ford tail light bucket and lens
