'69 original Rear Side Marker Set - Cutlass/442 - very nice condition
EDIT/ADD: Sold
Here is a pair of original rear side markers for a '69 Cutlass/442. They have " '68 " molded into the lenses and aluminum backer plates BUT from what I've read the '68 cars had a Left and Right side whereas the '69's were "universal". The diecast chrome bezels have the same PN with no "L" or "R" designation on them.
>Very nice condition chrome bezels - chrome is bright and shiny w/no bubbling, etc. You'd probably want to add the black and "claret" colored highlighting as most of that was removed during the cleaning process.
>Anodized aluminum backers (with foam seals) are in very nice shape....nice bright aluminum and not crusty, etc. You see these from inside the trunk area.
>Red lenses are nice....not cracked, chipped, etc. One lens has some factory "defects" on parts of the outer surface....a result of the injection molding process. Small raised "dots", etc - some of which could be wet sanded out and then polished.....I'll probably go ahead and do that so both lenses match in appearance.
>Black plastic outer gaskets/seals are there....one is in very nice shape and the other has two small splits (stress areas) and a small chunk missing from one edge (SEE PIC w/arrows pointing to these). NOTE: You can get new/repro black plastic gaskets/seals from Fusich for $14 or so for the pair.
>Attaching speed nuts included.
>Part numbers on pieces:
-Red lenses - 5960234 5 on both
-Chrome bezels - 403903 on both
Overall, a very nice original set....redo the paint highlighting and they're arguably show quality. Full new/repro pairs of these cost around $200 (Fusick) by the time you purchase everything. I can post more pics if needed.....these were taken inside w/a flash and I'll take some outside in the sunlight when it stops raining here.
