Believe I have about three. They are barely driver quality. All have a chip or two on the lenses and a little chrome loss on the rings. Be glad to ship them to you for cost of shipping.
Probably be a $15-$20 size box? Will try to get a pic of them and post asap - need to go dig them out of the garage.

Bad pics but I think you'll get the idea.
3 lenses and 5 rings.

are they the same as '58s ?? I might have a couple.
Ebay has one or two.

John, when you say "waffleboard" are you talking about the flat piece that the tail light assemblies all attach to? My '58 has round indentations painted black, a little bigger than nickels? The piece is cast.
If so, the info I posted about the round pieces at MACs is totally useless and I should delete it.

Yes, he's talking about the large flat piece that the taillights bolt to. The design mimics the front grill which is why all three years are different.

good - - sorry about my earlier post of no value.
I had the entire panel out a couple years ago. It was just an alloy, no plating.
If you have pitting, perhaps it could be polished off. Worse than that perhaps machined off by a surface planer?
At the time I spent about half a movie or so hand painting the holes black again. Not a great material for paint to adhere to.
There might have been a member who had one for sale. I will dig through old emails and see what I can find.

later: a member named Austin Reed told me last Fall that he had those pieces plated and they were for sale as he no longer had the car. Send me a PM with your regular email address and I will forward the pictures and email to you.Last edited by JohnG; January 26, 2018, 06:06 PM.1958 Hardtop
