1961 Pontiac AMT Bonneville tail lights

[W Humble]

Faint hope:  I need tailights from an AMT '61 Bonne kit for a '60 Chevy Kustom I'm building.  Even one would probably do, as I have one unused since '61!  I converted mine into a Catalina back 63 years ago, and not very well!  Got old stuff to swap!  Wick age 79

Larry and all: I had to change my email address because of a hacker (bad!) and am not sure my new one is kicking in with MCM; I didn't get your PM... Sorry!

I have tail lights I googled them and guessed but I do not know if they are right Do they pop in from back side of body.

No, they fit in recess in the cove under the trunk lip.  Chrome bezel, with three red lenses that snap in from behind.  I have one, lost the mate, darnit.  And after saving the set from 1961, too! 

My (Atlantis? Polar Lights) new kit is a Ventura-option Catalina, oc.  I was going to put the Bonne lites on my '60 Chevy coupe Kustom because I'm using a 389/Tripe engine.  Also have a JoHan Plymouth 'square' steering wheel in an original '60 Merc dash; how's that for vintage??

I'm still hoping to find a 1962-63 GM Y-body (Tempest/Special/Cutlass coupe roof to put on my '63 LeMans kit being rebuilt!  Tempest/LeMans had sedan coupe roofs, Olds/Buick Y-bodied compacts offered that plus pillarless hardtop coupes.  Strange!?  I have a 1/1 '61 Tempest coupe with Buick OEM 215 alloy V-8.
