Removed front seat for electrical rewire, and found rectangular holes in the bulkhead apparently for two courtesy lamps looking backwards to rear passenger area. There are wires and door switches but the new upholstery covers the holes. I am looking for the lights including lens and buckets that fit these rectangular holes.

Thanks

I think that Bob's Buicks has reproduced these. At least the bezel and lens. I ,by chance, have in my hot little hand, a bezel that is 2" X 3 1/4". Needs re-chroming for mint, $10.00 plus $3.00 postage.  Barry.  It came off a 1941 Cadillac convertible sedan, but I would think that it may be the same.

Thanks Barry

  He wants about $400 without the buckets or electrical parts, just the lens and chrome bezel.   A little rich for me. I will keep looking and maybe I can find something similar enough to satisfy my desire to have it complete and authentic.

  I could build buckets and reproduce the electrical parts so just really need a small rectangular lens and matching bezel

I also modified this post to include Buick and Cadillac Convertible sedans, and possible 5 passenger convertible coupes??
