Maybe, just maybe.........

What if these lenses were some design studio pieces that walked away as "lunch box" treasures, or something that was glommed from the Guide plant.

In the early 60's I worked for a guy whose brother in law worked in GM's design department. He would come to visit in some oddball car he had bought that had different trim or paint or interiors than the assembly line stuff. His story was that the department staff could buy these cars but they couldn't resell them for at least 6 months.

I have also seen and owned a few 0- pieces and some Holley carbs for combinations that never made it to production.

Maybe, just maybe, these lenses are something that just never made it to production.

This weekend, The Best friend of the Original Owner(He was there at time of purchase even!) and the Second owner is coming to Town from Florida. I will discuss this matter for if anyone would know, it would be this guy. he knows everything else about the Car, and if there was an "Allnighter" that resulted in these lenses being Created, He will know! There are so many other things one would do to a Car, why just that?? By the way, The Ball is missing the "R" as well as the other 4 gears!! Thanks for your optimistic Review Joe!

Have been waiting for an update, did either of these 2 guys have anything to say about who installed the mystery tail lights?
