Rectangular 68 Cutlass Supreme Rear Courtesy Light Lens Covers

I'm looking for the plastic lens covers for a 1968 Cutlass Supreme. There are rectangular and located on the sail panels.


Thanks.

No, those are the sail panel courtesy lights for 69-72, and are round. The 68 Cutlass Supreme sail panel lights are rectangular.

Two places to check — the Oldsmobile page on https://www.vintagepartsource.com and The Taillight King, I think that website is taillightking.com

No, longer and narrower. You can see them in one of the interior pictures of this car:

I did some parts book searching for you. The Olds part number is 7731134 and it only seem to apply to the 1968 Cutlass
Supreme 2-door hardtop model. The 1968 4-door CS models use a different part. I don't have any information as to other
GM makes that might cross.

Hope that helps,
Brian

I found a picture of the correct rectangular style lens in the picture at the link below, if that helps...

I just need the lens, or even someone willing to work w/ a 3d printer to reproduce a few.

Use the part number Brian posted. Then expand your search into Buick and Cadillac. Doubtful Chevrolet or Pontiac used it but look there too.

If that's a one-year part it's certainly not like the General to use it on only one carline, especially with only 33518 1968 Supreme Holiday Coupes made.

As an example the 1970-72 Cutlass door reflectors were used by full-size 1964 Pontiacs among others.

Thanks for the help. What does the "4287" listed next to the part # refer to?

4200 Cutlass Supreme, 87 Hardtop Coupe (F85)
Albeit: 4287 = Cutlass Supreme Hardtop Coupe

Your cowl tag (data plate) should demonstrate something on the order as per this thread...

Yours should read 34287. The leading "3" denotes Oldsmobile Division

Ah, thanks. Both of those websites are a hot mess - not sure how much I want to give them my CC information. I'll have to think on it.

Each of the websites list a contact telephone number. Sometimes these type websites are linked together much like Etsy, and the like - independent entrepreneurs trying to get by. You're looking for what appears to be a rather difficult part. It wouldn't hurt to call them to validate the information. Good Luck!

I gave each of them a call today. The first one gave me an operator who ignored my question and asked me for my information so she could send me the free medical alert button I had just won. The second gave me a fax dial tone, at which point I realized that the fax and phone numbers listed are the same. So, the search continues.

I searched for years for those, eventually sold the 68 without them. So couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a nos pair for sale recently on fb. ‘Course they sold for $250 or so. But hey, don’t give up. Apparently they are out there.
