1952-53 backup lights location
I have acquired a set of backup lights for my 53 Hornet, but do not know the exact location for installation. While at the national convention in Pittsburgh I saw the lights mounted on the trunk, on the back fenders and on the metal below the trunk. Was there a proper place for them to be mounted or was it a dealer/customer decision.

Backup lights for these Hudsons were options and installed by the dealer, owner or their chosen mechanic. Hudson original B-Up lights came with an instruction sheet that suggested location on the fender and trunk. But, where the owner wanted them is where they went.
Hope this helps
