What does this lens fit?

[jimkf]

A few weeks ago, someone was able to ID a steering wheel for me...now let's see if anyone can tell me what this lens fits. It's Stimsonite and has the letters L A N molded into the face. The chrome band is not a separate piece, rather, it appears to have been applied using a vacuum metalizing process and is original to the item. Looks like it's a right side lens. I found another at a vendor's space at Hershey but he couldn't tell me what it fit either. It's NOS and measures 4 1/2 inches long, 3 1/2 inches wide and about 3 inches tall. Thanks for your help!

Maybe 1938 Hudson Terraplane? It used a tail lens something like this.

Good guess...but not quite! I found a picture of a 38 Terraplane and the lens is similar, but not the same. I think the one I have does mount near the rear window, like the Hudson's, as opposed to lower on the body, but my lens does not fit this car.

Anyone else care to hazard a guess??

Is it possible to get a picture? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ............Steve

I edited Jim's post so that his picure of the lens shows up automaticaly.
