Bill,

I believe I have the license plate light you are talking about. It'son my
1960 Tradewind. I do have some bad news though. When I was removingthe
a/c unit that was put through the rear window I broke the lens off.The
lens already had a crack on one of the screw holes. Now the lens isin two
pieces. I think some glue will suffice until the day I run across a
replacement.

I to think the license plate holder is really neat.
