[FC] Backup lights

[Paul Steinberg]

If you want back up lamps that look like they were designed for the Corvair FC, then get a pair of 1959 Chevrolet car back up lamps.  These were also used on the 1960 Chevrolet station wagons.  They will mount in the area under the bumper and the contour of the lights will match the contour of the FC body panel.    They are rectangular with a chrome bezel securing a glass lens.  
A NOS pair of 1959 Chevrolet back up lamps usually sell for about $75 on eBay or swap meets.

  A previous owner had installed '62 car backup lights on the engine access door on my Greenbrier. This required cutting holes in the door. They look okay I guess but I would put on rectangular lights mounted under the bumper if I were to do it. Funny thing someone went through all that trouble and wired it to a push-pull switch where the lighter is supposed to be. The Greenbrier is an automatic and the switch for backup lights is built into the lever mechanism. One of the first things I changed on it.
