    Not meaning to be nit-pickey, but I believe those are 1936. The 1937's didn't say "Terraplane" on 'em.

    Thanks Jon, I have always wondered if these were a '36 only item? I think that they may have also been used in '34 or '35 but I have never been sure. They keep poping up on Ebay, but they are really getting pricey. They are very easy to drop and break!! I dropped one at the National in Auburn, but I now have a couple of spares. Bill A. gave me a great deal on two NOS lenses a few months ago.

    I bought a NOS one on ebay about 3 years ago and paid $60. The last one like exactly this one listed now sold the other day for $86.

    Jon is correct these are not for a 1937 Terraplane but a 1936. Bought one with the taillamp housing for about $25.00 two years ago. I put a small bulb in it and put it by my computer stand plug it in sometimes just to look at it. For some reason people have been paying big dollars on e-bay for them. K-Gap has plastic repros for abput $30.00 apiece.

    1934-35 glasses are flat, where the 36 are dome shaped.

    The reason people want the glass ones is so they can run halogen tail lights. The plastic lenses melt with halogen.
