Re: [VAL] Tail lights for'52 Cruisette

Chris:

    I don't know what type of tail lights your 1952 Cruisette now has, 
if any, or it at one time had, if any.  It's difficult to recommend a 
replacement to either match or approximate the originals if we don't 
know what was there originally.  Are/were your taillights round or 
rectangular?   There might be shadow or mounting hole hints if they are 
long gone.

    If round, here's a single light that just ended on Ebay that 
approximates the look of a round tail light I've seen only in photos on 
a Cruisette.  I don't know whether it is correct, but it looks similar. 
  I don't know whether it is a single or double filament bulb (and 
apparently neither does the seller, or if he does, he ain't' saying).
See:

[Taillights may also be seen HERE]

I don't know who made the light on Ebay; ask the seller for more info.

    If your 1952 Cruisette original tail lights were rectangular Bargman 
No. 2, then a new rectangular surface mount Peterson No. V306R dual 
filament red pillow optic tail light would make a nice replacement until 
you track down and restore an original set of Bargmans.  A pair would 
even be nice until you found some old round tail lights.

     Good luck!
