what year are my tail light parts?
I picked these up at an estate sale today and the guy said that they might be off a '56 Chevy but I haven't been able to find any photos of cars where it looks like them.
Does anybody recognize them? I'm a photographer and like the way they look. Thanks for any help. |

Re: what year are my tail light parts?
I'm pretty sure they aren't off a 1956 Chevy - might be wrong though ? Automotive parts generally will have some sort of identifying mark ( i.e. - GM , Ford , Mopar ) on the back of the piece . Also likely to have a part number as well . Check there and update us on what you find .

Re: what year are my tail light parts?
Here's a photo of the only marking I could find.
Thanks for telling me to look because otherwise I would have never seen these Do they tell you anything? It looks to me like it says; C5 CBC 392 0823 LH the last number or letter is real hard to read even in person. Thanks! |

They appear to be the front fender trim ( or endcaps ) from a 1968 Impala SS with hidden headlights . At least it appears to me that they match what's on this car - agree ?

Re: what year are my tail light parts?
Yes, Sir,
I think you've got it! Thank you sooo much. I was born in '55 and was hoping that was the year they were from. I am a native San Franciscan and was here in '68. What a great year! I have a little story to tell about my trim pieces when I display the photographs now. Thanks again |
