I am chasing some early 60's tail light lenses for the race car. They are only props so condition isn't a huge concern.
PM, email stanley111@optusnet.com.au or ph 0423775037.

thanks in advance

1/2 1/2 `s or the more common ones

Show us the bases dude(measurments?).
They may be the small one which can be more expensive than the Oval Glass ones.
I may have some lenses in the shed but they will be ugly.

These are the late 60's to mid 61. I believe these are what that refer to as the 61 tail lights - 50/50.

Early 1960 tail lamps were the glass oval shaped ones
that were also used on 1956 57 58 59 Beetles.
Early 60s beetles also had trafficators [no blinkers]
[called semaphores in the US.. as they didn't have them]

the late 60 1961 [1/2 1/2] tail lamps are probably amongst the rarest in the world , as they were only used in Australia and Italy...
the housing may be the same size as 1959 early 60 glass oval tail lamps. [same size on the guard]
