68 Cutlass Sail Panel Interior Lights

I can't seem to find anyone who sells repop interior sail panel lights for my 68 Supreme coupe.

Are these lights a one year only deal?

The only interior lights I seem to find are round dome lights, but my car has one rectangular light on each sail panel by the rear window and no dome light.

If anyone knows where I could get these, please help me out.

I'm not an expert, but I've had 5 1968's over the years and I only remember a rectangle dome light. I have seen round sail panel lights in 1970-72 Cutlass/442 and full sized cars from the late 1960's. The only rectangle sail panel lights I remember were in a 1966 or 67 Toronado. John

68cuttysupreme is correct. I have these same "opera" lights in the sail panels of my '69 Supreme. The ones you need are only on Supremes in '68 and '69. The ones for other years are different.
I got replacement lenses for mine from a guy on Epay

I had a feeling it was a Supreme only kinda thing. Looks like I'll be scouring Ebay for a set. Thanks for the info 69rman. BTW were the ones you found used or reproductions?

The ones I have are re-pops. If I can find them in one of my parts boxes, the guy I got them from sent a little business card with them in the bag. I'll forward his info If I can find them today.

I’ve been told by vendors that they aren’t reproduced. I searched for years while I had my 68 Supreme. Never did find any.

My 69 Skylark Custom I owned back in the 70s also had rectangular sail panel lights, maybe check Buick sites.
