Good Afternoon Everyone,

I recently came across this old tail light on a property of a relative of mines and wanted to know what make and model this came from.

I personally believe it to be from a 1959 Pontiac Star Chief but I'm not positive.

Thanks for any input provided
Bruce

Bruce,

I think you are right. If it's a GM product it will have GUIDE stamped somewhere.

Upon inspection of the lens it does say Guide R2A-59

It certainly looks like a Pontiac light. The 59 in the part number indicates the model year. Various sizes of light were used depending on the model.
