1939 Hudson 112 lights

Unknown

I have a simple question and I hope someone can help me!



I recently purchased a 1939 112 and I know that the front & rear lights aren't correct for the car but haven't yet been able to track a picture that shows me what the correct rears should look like. I have a picture in my head and also have some lenses from my old 1939 Six (sadly long gone out my ownership) but I believe that the 112 had different rear light clusters?



Does anyone have any pictures of a 1939 Hudson 112 from the rear end?



Thanks,



Paul

With any luck, someone will step forward and help you. Meanwhile, have you looked through your H-E-T roster (assuming you're in the Club) to see if someone nearby owns a '39 112? Then you could simply go over and carefully measure it (as well as note the correct position on the car). And you never know...the owner might have a spare or two he'd sell you!

Are you looking for sedan or coupe tail lights?

Rick,



Great pictures - thanks! The rear lights look like I remember them and in looking though my small stash of bits in the attic today I actually found an old 112 lens.

So you have to know exact model so you can determine if the tail light is on the fender or 1/4 panel. These are the numbers for the tail light assembly,

I do not know if the lenses would be different.
