'60 AMT Pontiac Bonneville taillights

[hedotwo]

In the wanted category I'm asking if anyone would have "spare" taillights for my rescued AMT '60 Bonny.  I now have more general questions about the taillights and figured it'd be best to ask them here instead.  What I'd like to know is what exactly was used by AMT for the taillights.  I've attached a pic (not too clear though) of the real taillights as well as the taillights from the '60 Trumpeter kit instructions, and a grainy pic of the rear of my Bonny.  The engraving for the wider molded bands around the taillights is decent and I can sharpen them a bit more as I continue with my pre-BMF trim prep.  It might not be easy making the thinner chrome trim ring that surrounds the red lens though.  I can probably find something to use for the red bullet lenses in my spares.   Anyone help?

The abbreviation for "1960" should be '60, not 60', which would mean 60 feet.

Here's one on eBay, which should give you an idea of what the AMT tail lights look like:

Edited my post  (even though the Bonny is long it's probably not sixty feet)

Thanks for posting the ebay pic.  I see now that AMT just used the red lens without any chrome.  Not terribly accurate, but not a biggie.  I guess I'll either attempt my own (with more of a bullet type red lens) or see about the possibility of adapting the Trumpeter taillights (IF I could find them)

Thanks

I can snap off a picture of the back end on my amt 1960 Bonneville later today.

That'd be great.  I'll need to keep an eye out.

Got a set I don't plan on using anytime soon. Problem is, the overall chrome trees in mine are the idiotic satin finish version.
