Recently acquired a station-wagon load of spare parts from a previous 1957 & 1960 TBird owner. Still sorting through to see what I'll be keeping for my '60. This is a pair of NOS / NORS 1957 Thunderbird tail light lenses in Ford boxes. Based on the zip code on the boxes, the boxes date from '63 or later. I cannot vouch for whether or not the lenses originally came in these boxes or not, and the PO is not able to help in that regard.
The lenses both have identical markings as shown in the pictures:
No. 68 MFG. By STIMSONITE
TOP
FB-57
FRST-57A
2 oval FoMoCo logos
To my eye, and confirmed by Mrs Del, one of these looks a little redder than the other, but it seems to depend on the lighting. In the photos the color looks identical. There is a small 3/8" stress crack near the top of the back-up light dome on one of the lenses as shown in picture #6. You can also see the crack in the lens on the right side of picture #1. This is the same lens that sometimes looks a little orange-y coincidentally. The other lens is perfect.
PM me here with any questions.
$100 / OBO + shipping from 14226 3lbs
Thanks!
