Doing an Atomic Age theme with my Shasta. I saw these tail lamps from a 58 Edsel. I know they are not original to the trailer, but I think they would look super cool. Any of you car buffs have a secret place where you buy parts? Hit me up if you have a few leads

I'm a 1957 Ford guy and to my knowledge no company reproduces the early Edsel tail lights.
I also believe that they are different bezels on a Edsel sedan, and a Edsel wagon. If you find them, and the chrome is still in good condition, as in "not pitted', then they will be very pricy!
Good hunting

Agree with John, will be costly if in good condition. I'm an Austin Healey owner so can't help with domestic sources but you might check ebay under "vintage parts" Good luck, Mike

Hey Man, googled "casting custom tail lights" and there's some pretty cool info for DIY. Here's one site that got into it. Don't be fooled that the lenses are the only thing you can cast. If you're good with modeling clay (weren't we all kids once?) you can cast the bezels too, then spray em with "chrome" paint. Nobody will care if the chrome isn't real chrome, heck your window frames aren't either. Might be a fun winter-night project.
