If you look from the rear, you can see that the left tail light lens is dull and the red has faded throughout the years, more than likely it is the original from the factory. The right side was probably replaced with a Ford part many years ago.

I had this idea of cleaning them up with plastic cleaner and when I removed the metal circular piece I found in both cases the plastic lens was cracked in multiple places and the metal piece was actual holding it all together!

The tail light bucket seemed to be in really good condition. Both sides were in the same condition. Once I wiped it down they were good as new.

I’ll be looking a replacement set but not the original 1963 model as it will be difficult to find and the cost would be much higher.
