Need help to ID this GM Headlight Bezel

3macs1 · #1 09-29-2007, 01:11 AM

At first I thought 61 impala, then early corvette and finally corvair but cannot find the exact match. I have a part number if that will help 5950199 but I cannot find that either in my books.
Thanks For the help Joe

59 Chev ? 64 Pontiac ?

Not in my books either. Don't think it's Chevy, unless it's LARGE truck. The p/n would put in the '58-'59 range.

Thanks for the feedback. 59 chev is real close but the 4 mounting holes are in the wrong spots. 64 pontiac gto is about the closest but still not right.
I am lost on this one.

May be suggesting the obvious, but how about Canadian Pontiac?

Of course, my 58 Pontiac parts book doesn't seem to cover those.

Checked all the canadian pictures and numbers I could find and nothing.It is in Rick's hands now. If he cannot find the part number Gm never made it.

Looks real familiar Joe and although it does look a lot like a bunch of Poncho applications, I think it may be for something like a GM Bus...not a 'Fishbowl' City bus but a HiWay Coach like GM/MCI built for a buncha' years for Greyhound and others?.

Joe,
The fact that it's in such a late box ('70s style) and still has the same p/n proves it's not Chevy car or light truck, or Vette, as it's not in my books. BY that I mean that number would be in my books. Looking at some other similar numbers, I now believe it could be back to '55 vintage. If it's not BOP I"d have to believe it's BIG truck.
Is that p/n on the box or just molded into the part?

Here's a link to some of the buses I was thinking of.. Click on the ninth picture down, the Calgary Airport one...looks close even the mounting holes?.

I think that is it Pete. Thanks. Now I have to find someone doing a frame off on one of those

and I can sell him a pair of NOS headlight bezels. I only paid 20.00 for the pair so it was worth a shot. Guy bought them for his 61 impala which they didnot fit and he sold them to a guy with a corvair then I got them.Thanks again
