Over many years, I have collected a substantial number of 1930-'31 tail light lenses that I think are originals. However, they have slight differences in the shape of their vertical flutes. Can somebody please post the Ford engineering drawing for the tail light.

There was a seminar on lighting at the MARC meeting today presented by Bob Martino and Ron Ehrenhofer. They said that in the original lenses, the dimpling on the bottom section of the lens is smaller and less pronounced than on the repros, if that is any help. They had a photo in their presentation that illustrated the differences.
