The 55er Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 If they say Guide or Guidex in them they're the originals. Those look like originals to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Does R indicate right side, 1 Chevrolet, and 59 the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don't know what R means but I can tell you that on vintage GM lenses R1 denotes Chevrolet, R2 is Pontiac, R3 is Oldsmobile, R4 is Buick and R5 is for Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
