I wonder what these lenses go to.......

[BobT-47P15]

When I bought them at a swap meet, I thought they were for a P15.

 

But......last night when I tried to put them into a tail light frame, they were

too wide.    They measure 4 3/4" wide by 2 5/8" high at the outside edges.

 

Might possibly be for a 42 Plymouth, but they don't have the 3 little bumps

on them that 42's have.  They are aftermarket items so they might not be

exactly correct replicas.  

 

Did any other makes in the 40s (Chrys, Dodge, DeSoto) use a lense that

looks like this?   Thanks for any help.

looks like reprod 42's.

Just looked on eBay.......there are several for sale on there that look like this.   One guy says his measures 

about 5 by 3.   I think his measurements are a bit generous.  So......guess I bought 42 lenses that I

can't use.  Ah well......glad I didn't pay a lot for them.   Maybe I'll run into someone who needs them

some time.

Original 42 lenses and frames look like this.      (I thought only 3 nubs on the lense.....but are 5).

If you've ever been around a 1942 Plymouth and looked it over carefully.........you will see that virtually

nothing will switch between a 42 and a 46-48 model even though they have a similar appearance at

a glance.
