Topic: 34 tail lamp lens

  Well I managed to drop one of my tail lamp lenses for my '34. Hundreds of pieces. I think it was an original but not sure.

How can I tell if my tail lamp lenses (at least the one I have left) is an original or a reproduction?

Is there a reproduction that is close to the original?

  carguy,

The taillight lenses on my '34, which are original to the car, have the word "STIMSONITE" embossed on them. Drake sells them with this correct logo on them. Click on this link:

  It is always a good idea to put a mover's blanket around the work area when working on a car lens. Tail light lenses for Ford are a lot easier to find than the head light or parking light lenses. These blankets can be found at Harbor Fright.

  Excellent advice. Thank you. I never thought of having movers blankets as part of my tools - until now. Thanks again.
