My '53 Hornet has a cracked left lense (plastic). Can anyone help me locate a replacement please? Do the previous year's glass lenses fit this model lamp? If so I would like to locate a pair of these.

    Geoff - The glass lens units were only used on very early production 1952 models and were completely different housings - were not interchangeable. By 1953 the only units build were with the plastic lens. I believe I may have plastic lens for your car if I did not sell them at the Gettysburg National. I'll have to check my shelves tomorrow - will let you know

    I am looking for a set for my 54 and noticed that Eschelman's up in Idaho has them as well.

    Geoff - Sorry, but I must have sold those plastic lens at Gettysburg. One thing for sure I don't have them in my garage!

    O.K., thanks for looking. Have checked out Eshelman's website, and they have new ones listed, so I'll get one from there.

    You must check how your lenses are installed. Some are screwed in place and others are glued in place. My 2 53 Hornets are screwed into the housing and they are original glass. So are my tail light lens. Walt.
