Taillight lenses - a quiz
I bought a box of taillight lenses from a Craigslist seller today. I really only wanted the bumpside lenses he was selling, but he wanted to get rid of the whole box for $25.00. Now I have NOS lenses for all different makes and models of old cars.
Anyone up to a challenge? Some of the boxes are marked and some aren't. I'll post some pictures and see if any of you can help me figure out what cars the lenses go to.

sounds like once you get it figured out you can ebay them and make some good money, even if you sold a set for 25.00 plus shipping.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Re: Taillight lenses - a quiz
Well, that's what I am hoping for but the whole thing (minus the bumpside lenses) could end up in the trash!
First, we will start with an easy one:

Another view:
Try 1961-62 Falcon
There might be "61 FST" cast in the lens.

Re: Taillight lenses - a quiz
The remainder I dont recognize right off.
Copy down and post the letters & numbers that are cast into them.

Re: Taillight lenses - a quiz
Turns out they aren't NOS. They are made by Glow-Brite which makes them "period reproductions", I guess.
