mariop51 10 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hello, I received this part as a gift and would like to know the exact location of it in the car, and to which years it applies.Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltfed 30 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It is the rear license plate light. Located on center line below the license plate on deck lid. Looks very close to my 1938 Zephyr but the letters should show through the red. Might be another year. Link to post Share on other sites
larry butcher 18 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 As Beltfed said , it is the rear license plate light lens holder for the 1938 Lincoln Zephyrs. These are very rare in good condition as yours looks to be.This is the 1st thing that gets "creamed" in a rear end hit.The paint can be redone. A very good gift! Link to post Share on other sites
mariop51 10 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Indeed it is. Thanks to both of you.It has been repainted. The letters aren't painted, it's just a photo effect.Greetings. Link to post Share on other sites
John_Mc 86 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I restored the deck lid handle on my '37 Zephyr that had no paint left. I was very pleased with the results. Lots of time masking and then removing the overspray on the letters with a set of +250 glasses, magnifying glass and a set of round toothpicks. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't tell you how many times someone has come up to me and thought the trunk latch was open. IMHO, it should have pointed straight down Link to post Share on other sites
