flash washes it out, it is red on the side. Part number in google doesn't come up with anything. Came in an old box too, I think the label on the box is actually 1967.

My 1st thought was late 50s fin car. But the picture wasn't clear enough for me to say with 100% certainty

so wagon and truck? Looks like the regular car one has a more white center?

the lens is the same, they are all over eBay (original & reproduction) - it's the chrome bezel that makes the difference and its quality would determine desirability/value twocents

Chrome is absolutely perfect, but I'm having trouble taking a picture that truly reflects that.

these photos make it look dull and cruddy but it's not, it's brand new looking in a box from 67 it appears.

it is hard to see it from the angle you are holding it - twocents set it flat on a table as if it was mounted & take a picture at an angle

is the chrome the same height all around (hardtop/sedan) or at an angle (wagon/sweptside)

The Sweptside pictured above is the only truck that used those lights. The rest of the pickups were different.
