1950 TL lens plasticplastic Taillight Lens     1950 Chevy

A plastic Chevy Taillight Lens is for either 1949 or 1950 Chevy.  The lens is a reproduction of the original 1950 GM replacement lens, red in color.  This plastic taillight lens is not being made today so it is a NOSR “new old stock replacement” lens from the 50’s. They are marketed as a 1949-1950 lens  because the 1949 Chevy TL lens is not being made today. The main reason the 1949 lens is not being made today “in my opinion” is because the 1950 is much more popular so sales of the 1949 lens are much lower. 

These plastic 1950 Chevy TL Lenses are not always available so I suggest calling 352 236 6386 for availability before ordering.





You will find a plastic version of this lens listed elsewhere on this page but they were never offered from GM. These plastic lenses were a replacement lens sold in auto parts  stores similar to NAPA.  Both lenses fit well and are easy to replace. 

Some of the reasons people used them in the 50’s were

1. price,  cheaper than  buying from a Chevy dealer. 

2. availability, auto parts stores were on every corner. 

3. less breakable, is you dropped one they normally would not break.  Glass will.

One important point to understand is that both the 1951 Chevy and the 1952 Chevy used the same complete taillight assembly.  No difference at all.
