  • 52 taillights on a 51,will they fit?

    Like the look of the 52 taillights more then I do the original 51's, but will they fit, and would you need 52 backing plates too? Thanks.

    Yes the Lamp Housings, Hoods, Bezels and Lenses all will fit, but you need all FOUR.

        I'm sure they are out there but 52 headlights and trail lights seen to be the most desirable thing on a 52.
        I got lucky going the other way putting 50 stuff on my 52. Traded my pitted (52) ones for complete (50) units that had been re chromed.

            That car is a 50 and it is beautiful. I got a great shot of it next to my 51 sitting next to it. It was a nice contrast between a custom bumperless 50 and a stock looking 51.
