picked this 1950 Cadillac sofa up probably 25 yrs ago and had it wrapped up in storage. It was in rough shape tail lights were broken and had a poor wiring job done, seat needed fixing as well paint was poor too…..I could not find tail lights anywhere so I improvised by using a candy dish that was close to the same shape. I cut it in to quarters and glued them together….. added LED lighting and rewired them.

After sanding down the body I put a nice coat of acrylic and hand rubbed it to a fine finish…….fixed the seat …………

Might be the first classic car I have seen with led lights.

They have inserts and direct replacements for a lot of Chevy and Fords. You can’t really tell on most of them other than being able to see the light haha.
