        They have the back up lamp chrome bezels on the trunk lid, I don't think they stock the tail lamp housings. These were being reproduced a few years ago but they ave always been in short supply.

          1963 & '64 Avantis do not have a tail light Rim, it is the whole Tail Light Housing and they have not been available in decades, sorry.

          The Back-up Light Rims are available however.

          Nostalgic Avanti MAY be your only possibility that I know of, they are in Wixom, MI.

            I have (or had) a pair of the repo tail lamp housings & they were JUNK! I could see the tail lamp opening at one point where the edge didn't cover it. If it's not an original housing don't bother. Waste your money on something else. It would be more worthwhile.

              I purchased both front and rear repop light housings from Nostalgic about five years ago and they all looked and fit great. It could be that different batches of repos may be better than others or the fiberglass panels of individual cars may be just different enough to make for a good or bad fit.

                My bad...they are back up bezels under the tail light section. That's my excuse.
