Thread: opinion on putting 1959 cadillac tail lights in my 1951 chevy 2dr coupe

Tweet

Let me know if any thinks its a good idea to put the 1959 cadillac tail lights in my car and if they would look good

It'd be cool but what about '60 Vette tail lights over the rear fender/ fin, I'v seen them put on '51 and '50 Chevy Feetlines and it looks cool. I have a '51 Fleetline 4dr with the powerglide and 235.

i cant think of what the 60 vette tail lights look like

Heres a pic of the whole vette from the rear, there curvature matches that of the '51's fin/fender so they are neat looking and it smoothes it out.

where can i find a set of those lights for my car

I'm not shure other than Ebay. I have seen resto parts sites for vettes but can't remember where. Sombody on here has to know of some source but really, Ebay is your best bet.

if you wont to keep it simple do the vette, if you wont to be loud do the caddy. what i would do if i was you is look around and come up with something i liked what no body else had.


goodtimeproductions.con has a lot of dif. lights that comes with the buckets. check them out

try YearOne. there's onther companies also but cn't remember them right now. Might go on My Classic car site. He has a list of aftermarket catalogs

If you're building a 60s style custom with a custom grille, frenched headlights, etc. Then they would look great if they were notched into the rear fenders. Maybe even 2 on each side.
If you're not going that radical I would use something more subtle. Like 49/50 Pontiac lights. They make new repros. Or maybe even the classic 39 Ford teardrops.
