Re: 1940 Ford Deluxe Tail Lights
Some different heights, some the same. Too many cars with the "error", so the error must not have been caught right away, or the vendor supplied the fenders with the error, it was caught, but the fenders were needed and used anyway (not unusual for HF, I'd wager). It would be interesting to see when the cars with the original fenders were produced.
In any event, since this site & the EFV8 Club is all about keeping or restoring cars to their original state, as produced, I suggest leaving the "error" alone and just explain it to every person who wishes to criticize the car. Judging should accept either taillight placement.
What will probably happen, is that everyone with the "error" fenders, will fix them and that little part of Ford history will be lost forever.
Just my 2¢
