Daves1940Buick56S Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Again as part of the dash removal, I pulled the map light. The bottom appears to be covered in some kind of aluminum paint that is flaking off. This isn't original, is it? Also, the letters and stripes are painted in a dark gold paint. Isn't it supposed to be black? Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMicheletti Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Neither my special nor Roadmaster original lenses had any paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den41Buick Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Looks like someone was trying to make the plastic look uniform so they painted the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneybeauchamp Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hi all, would someone have a map light cover for a Special? My original is cracked and the reproduction spare that came with the car doesn’t fit (screw holes don’t line up). If someone had a nice driver quality one I would be interested.

DonMicheletti Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I have replacements in both my '38's. I ended up filing the holes slightly oval to get the replacements to fit. Pretty hard to find a good original, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
