For this week's community question, we want to know your choice for the best tail light design you've ever seen on a car. Maybe you have a personal connection to some light design, maybe you saw something in a magazine, or maybe you just saw a 1959 Cadillac at a car show and said, "oh man, that's stunning!"
Whatever it may be, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the best tail light designs of all time.
@chrisgall65 - also my personal favorite. But maybe as much because of the entire fin look as just the taillights themselves. The entire package is what attracts me. In my mind, these were the epitome of the fin/rocket-lights look. Much more subdued than the '59 Caddy and others of the period, but still dramatic and impossible-not-to-notice.
The 1961-63 Thunderbird taillights look like a rocket engine ready for takeoff, especially at night.
In fact, Ford is still using that same basic theme on their current supercar, the Ford GT.
Maybe not the coolest of all time but I liked them.
I cast my ballot for the 1960 Mercury. Best tail lights and bumper too!
My favourites would be the ‘59 Bonneville and ‘67 Eldorado
my favourite is the one year only 1961 Plymouth Fury. So cool.
And let us not forget those unique boomerang taillights on the 1958 Edsel station wagon. Enlarge for best effect.
1967/68 Mercury Park Lane/Monterey.
Nothing better than the 1961 Cadillac.
