I purchased this vehicle from my stepdad last month, had it shipped from NM to VA, and have had a blast driving it around! I am taking it in next month for tuneup and some electrical repairs but I am looking for some information regarding styles. I have noticed some have the vertical swing doors in the back and others, like mine have the "Horizontal lift and tail gate" doors. Sorry if this has been covered before. I have yet to sit down and read all the great info!
I also wondered about the "brake light" located centered on the tailgate that is on a swival connector. Not sure what this is and why?
Pics coming soon.
Looking forward to being part of this great site!
I also have a 1958 Cadillac Sedan Deville and a 1959 Chevy Impala,(both at the beggining restoration process) thus my name.

WHEN THE REAR LOWER GATE IS DOWN IN THE OPEN POSITION, THE LIGHT WILL FLIP IN A POSITION THAT CAN BE BE SEEN BY THE CAR BEHIND. THESE ARE REFERRED TO AS CLAMSHELL TAILLIGHTS
Pics coming soon.
