Re: Different '41 parking lights?
I found a couple of pictures of '41 Mercs with a parking lamp with a raised top chrome ridge that extended over the glass an inch or so. Some others appeared to be frosted with a front that looked to be a clear disc. Funny how we tend to get fixated on stuff like this! Happy New Year all!

Re: Different '41 parking lights?
Could be,could be after market turn signal add ons. I know the owner couldn't have done it. Tools were a mystery to him. Here's a pic of a 41 Merc you can kinda see the fin on top of the light. and a 42 woody with the rectangular lights. Ed

Re: Different '41 parking lights?
Tbirdhandyman had commented on how pretty the early ones were and the ones we have found are a lot better looking than what are on the majority an also on the '41 Fords. Thanks guys.

Re: Different '41 parking lights?
Hi,
justa note on the clolr of the 41 parking lights. I am not 100 percent sure but i think the parking light bases should be black, not body color. Any comments on this? Al 5 |

Re: Different '41 parking lights?
It just shows the correct placement of the rectangular lights,confirming what you posted earlier in the thread. So people can see the difference. Thanks Ed

Re: Different '41 parking lights?
Am finishing my 41 sedan coupe, park lights on top of fenders,the light body painted body color, but beware of repro lenses. Don't remember the seller but I could not get it to fit right and luckily found NOS, fit like a dream.

Re: Different '41 parking lights?
Yeah,I had the same problem with repo lense. Had a lot of differences but after I broke a piece off it fit! Still tho,I'm looking for an original.

Re: Different '41 parking lights?
It has to be a modification in my mind. The first Ford to use those parklites was 42"jailbar" truck, correct me if I'm wrong.
