Avanti Headlight Rims

[61Lark]

Does any one know if there is an interchange with an older model on the 63 round headlight Avanti's. The inner headlight is part number 1350113. That's low enough that I would think that it was used on something else, maybe in the late 40's. Here's an example of one that just sold one eBay.

That part number may be for the sealed beam retainer ring. I dont have my parts books here yet, but thats my guess. The outer ring on the 63 that retains the glass cover is unique to that year & rare=expensive.

60 Lark convertible
61 Champ
62 Daytona convertible
63 G.T. R-2,4 speed
63 Avanti (2)
66 Daytona Sport Sedan

Thank you, I figured it was something older.
