52-53 Hornet tail light lenses

Kerry, Thats about the size of it. Hudson origionally used glass parking and tailight lenses at the beginning of the 1952 production. However shortly after the 52 production began , Hudson had Autolite produce the screw- in plastic lenses and surrounds. I.C.G had lost the contract so plastic instead of glass became the cheaper way to go. They are not compatable with one another. If someone wants to be period correct and have an early production 52 Hornet they try to get the glass lenses. They are tough to find and no one reproduces them. Plastic lenses on the other hand are being re produced and really unless you are a stickler you would never know the difference between the two.
