Re: IML: Anyone know the difference between 55/56 Imperial tail lites?

["david simons" <simonsbud8@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

TED, THE TAIL LIGHTS ON THE 55 AND 56 ARE DIFFERENT. THE 55 MOUNTS ON TOP OF 
THE FENDER AS DOES THE 56 BUT THE BASE BEHIND THE RIGHT REAR FLIPS OPEN ON 
THE 55 AND THE TAILFIN ON THE 56 SWINGS OPEN. THE LENSES ARE INTERCHANGABLE 
BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT.
