Title: bumper car trailer tail lights
Post by: couper on May 11, 2010, 10:00:06 PM
Does anyone know the overall height and width of the 1938-9 Ford tear drop taillights? The original Grode lights on the '59 TeeNee boat trailer fenders I'm using were around 6.5 inches tall.
Thanks

Thanks for the help. Those measurements will work on my trailer. I tried to post a picture, but pixel is too large. I'll try again later tonight.
