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

[Lon Anderson]

To elaborate on Ken's statement, the 1949 Chevy used a single light over the license plate, and it was a metal housing with a glass lense... I don't know if the 1950 Chevy was the same, but there's a good chance.
I have seen where someone had cut a plastic milk jug and glued that into the FC light housing, but it was clearly done "after" the fact, not a factory job.
I've never seen an FC/Wagon light with a lens, but that doesn't mean they don't exist...
;-)
Later,
Lonzo

 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.

thx paul...different year boxes?  maybe the lens was offered one year but
not the next?  maybe only for the wagons but not the FC?  also, were the
posts metal or plastic?
