Erndog Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have two tail light assemblies that appear to be 1940 Oldsmobile +/-. They have the three grooves in the top and mount at an angle. The casting numbers are 5930239 and 5930240. Neither of these numbers come up in the 1950 Olds parts book, which goes back at least to 1938.Does anyone know what these go to?

Erndog Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Actually, I was hoping someone would check their parts book. The items are identical to Olds for 1940, but evidently go to something else. Good to know about the Pontiacs. That could be it. The difference is the angle of the casting is too extreme for Olds.Here are some pictures of them. The obvious answer is Oldsmobile, but the numbers don't jive.

Guest prs519 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 D0 not shoot the inquisitor, but may I ask, are you sure if these mounted horizontally or vertically?Perry in Idaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Commodore Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I think it is a 1940 Oldsmobile. See photos. As to the mounting it looks like the Series 90 were mounted horizontally and the Series 60 and 70 were mounted vertically.And the big picture.

Erndog Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Those were my thoughts, too, but the numbers don't jive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 They're nothing like Pontiacs which were horizontal and the lens is rectangular on the top and sides but pointed on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erndog Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Perhaps these are aftermarket numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
