Thread: Rear License Plate Mount?

Tweet

Back when the roadsters and coupe started going up to the dry lakes to race, they removed the fenders and stuff to go faster. The stock tail lights on a 32 were a pain to remove and reinstall so many of the racers ... installed the newest, good looking available tail light available. The 38/39 Ford tail lights were installed in the rear body panel. They did the same with the license tag. It has been fairly accepted as the way it was done ... since the 40's. My old roadster was a Los Angeles California car in the late 30's and had the 38/39 tail lights installed before WWII. The same for the license tag ... I like them that way ... and they will remain that way as long as I own the roadster ( 30 years so far )

The tag light is a newer addition and 12Volts. It is a A/C Cobra part ... and puts out a lot of light. It has two small bulbs.



They are available at ...
