Beemon Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) So I remembered today that 54-56 Olds small body has the same trunk lid as 54-56 Buick.. search 55 Olds trunk on Google, looks like they had a better trunk light than the little sheet metal tab Buick shipped.

g-g-g0 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Buick still used these in 52/53. They have a mercury (I think) switch that turned it of and on when the trunk opened. Don’t know beyond 53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buick lite is better...less likely to get damaged when slammed on stuff in the trunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemon Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 I agree its recessed and out of the way, however how many times have you gotten in the way of the light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
