I personally don't get it .
I took my buddy out to my favorite abandoned desert junkyard where he went nuts pulling taillights like these and some old Packard lights too plus a few others , in sets ~ he paid about $5.00 per set and the next time I accompanied him to the local Long Beach auto swap I was sitting theere when some guy walked up and pointed to the Packard taillights (one had broken lens) and says " how much ?"
'$500.00' said my buddy ~ as I was choking & spitting up the soda I'd just sent down the wrong pipe , they guy hauled out a wad and counted off the C-notes , said ' " thanx ! ' and off he went , happy as a clam .
WOW . I'll _never_ figure out the hot rodders .
