And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Bought a set of those caddy boolit tail lights, just to build a whole one off custom bike from scratch around them. Start from setting them at a jaunty upwards angle at the very back, up behind the seat section. use that architectural angle as the starting point for frame and swing arm, even the fuel tank.
What the other commentors are saying is, it never was this wild. This is a 62 Tbird light modified with a 59 Caddy center. So actually, it's wilder now then it was then!
My parents had a '63 T-bird with similar tail lights. And I have been behind Hyundai Telluride SUVs that have dog bone-shaped tail lights. Indeed, stupid has replaced interesting.
I have 1959 Caddy taillights as bathroom decorations, I wish I could show you pictures of my "Cadillac of bathrooms" because it's pink with '59 Cad's festooning it in many ways.
Must been fun building the mockups. Be neat to see the various ones that where rejected.

My first thought was T Bird
DeleteJust being curious: how do you identify it as a 62 T-Bird with the fender trims removed?

ReplyDeleteI have the 59 caddy tail lights on my 59 Ford and I tunneled those lights into the fenders on my 39 Ford pickup and my 1960 Ford pickup.

ReplyDeleteIf that was the front they would have called them Mansfields
ReplyDeleteBack when rockets were fairly new on the scene so lets design a taillight that looks like the afterburners are on.
