<VV> 66 Taillights

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

The 65 lens is totally different from the 66-69 lens. 66-69 lenses have the  
small diameter center reflector, surrounded by a small trim ring. The early 66 
 cars had a narrow band, and the late 66-69 had a wider ring, but about the 
same  ID as the early 66 rings.

Am  confused again. I seem to have one each of two  different sets of tail  
lights and backup lights. One pair has a thin  (about 1/16" deep) chrome  
ring in the center and the other set has a  much wider (about 3/8" thick)  
ring. To really confuse things both  say "Guide" and "SAE 66". Which is  
correct for a 1966 Monza built in  January at Willow Run ? What is the  other 
set  ?

The ones with the wide ring are  65s.

Single year lenses.

The others are 66-69s. Correct for  those years.

At least that what it sounds like the way you are  describing them.

The chrome ring on the 65s is a much larger  diameter
