1930 Chrysler 66 Tail light

[namvet1959]

Greetings,

                 Can anyone show me a photo of an original Chrysler 66 tail light, I am keen to know if the tail light body was the same shape as the headlights and the side lights, by that I mean did they have the raised section on top of the light

thanks

George

Should look like this with a "beehive" lens....yours may not have the chrome bucket.

Thank you very much, I have that light less the lens  but had been told that the tail light looked like one of the side lights , same looking design I mean

Nope. I do not think they ever used the same design as the headlights and cowl lights on the taillights.

Yes I am sure you are right as from my experience most of your references to these cars are correct, if not all, my tail lamp has been stripped back to brass,so will  I chrome  it as the headlights which should be black with chrome ring are now all chrome, I think, will try for correct lens first.
