P-15 Taillight Lenses

[Sam Buchanan]

Question for the historical experts:

 

Which of these lenses is the correct one for my '48 P-15?

 

[Young Ed]

The right one with the ribs is what I've always seen.

[Sam Buchanan]

That would be my guess.

Mine are ribbed glass.  Does the smooth one maybe say lynx eye on it?

[Frank Elder]

The one on the left looks just like my D 24 tail light lenses.

Don't know, I'll check. What's the deal with "lynx eye"?

[greg g]

After market replacements, Usually sold from a cardboard merchandiser near the cash register in parts stores and service stations.  They were also one of the makers of blue dot replacement lenses.

Both my cars had Lynx eye taillight lenses....as Oz 1940 Dodges used 1940 US Plymouth taillights a set of 1940 Plymouth Lynx Eye Tailights still in their boxes was eagerly obtained in 1975 and still in use..........the 1941 Plymouth Lynx Eye centre light was obtained soon after the car purchase in 2007...........they are not common here in Oz...............andyd
