That is interesting. Looks like it dates to the '40's or early '50's!

Yes, and unopened, too. I find references to this part number for things like 1942-48 Pontiac and 1965-66 Corvair and 1967-71 F-body so used for a good number of years. But, this is definitely one of the older style packages.

Next topic - Looks like by no later than 1977 the rear taillight assemblies

917145 and 917146

were no longer available and you had to make them up from the individual parts. Here's pictures of the complete assemblies again for reference.





The housings were available as one of the separate pieces after 1977. Sort of nice as these came with the front and back gaskets already installed.

The gaskets are not really very common and I only have one of each right hand and no left hand side of these so far. If you have a NOS left hand side for either of these that you'd part with I would be interested.

The lens are still MIA and instead of paying a fortune for NOS bezels I had these re-chromed. To me they look better than NOS. What do you guys use for the black trim paint on these?
