Studebaker International used to reproduce the tailight housings, but the quality was a constant struggle and he quit doing it.

Follow the Glass Shop link below and scroll down towards the bottom. They make one piece grilles that include the upper and lower panels -available in open or closed form and in race or street weight. I had one of these and installed it on a '62 Hawk that I converted to a '53/'54 front end. A lot of the land speed cars run with this guy's products -the quality and fit are very good.
