[FC] <VV> Wagon and '61-'63 fc rear license lights

[Ken Hand]

 The Corvair Housings were all plastic and the stands were metal with a rubber socket to keep moisture out of the contact area.

There were some 50's GM cars that also had license lights similar but they were all metal and had a glass lens. Once painted it is VERY hard to tell the difference.

not the next?  maybe only for the wagons but not the FC?  also, were the
posts metal or plastic?
