Guest Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I have never heard of glass for the tail lights on the 50, but the turn and back-up lights were glass, I believe. What you now have sounds correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted February 18, 2002 Author Share Posted February 18, 2002 I asked the question because I saw a pair of Glass lenses at a swap meet I went to this past weekend.<BR>They were not Guide though.<BR>I was wondering if they needed to be for Judging or if they are plastic.

Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Hi Bill,<P>My '51 had plastic lenses. I think the '50 & '51 used the same lenses.<P>I have not seen glass ones for those years.<BR>I think the glas ones were used through the late '40's.<P>Contact Rick Schick the head judge. He also has a 1950 Buick and is the tech. advisor.<P>If anybody knows it would be him.<P>rickschick@prodigy.net.<P>Scott Mich<BR>Assistant Director<BR>Chicagoland Chapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Usually there will be "B" and the year on tail-light lenses.My 23 Buick even had "B"23 headlamp lenses ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickNut Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Hey Bill - good to talk again. I've got a '49 Buick Super and it has plastic tail lights with the rest being glass also. I'm not 100% positive, but I believe the tail light lenses are GUIDE ones...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
