Any Kits With Taillights Like These?

Want to build a replica of my 66 Pontiac Lemans and need taillights.

I'm not completely up on the LeMans-versus-GTO differences --- perhaps the Revell '66 GTO could serve as the base for LeMans lamps?

Besides the hood scoop, the main external difference between a '66 Tempest and a '66 GTO is the taillights.  Nothing out there will be anything like those, scratchbuilding is the only alternative.

Hey Johnny - I wrote about this a while back:

One addition: It has to be the Craftsman Series '59 Mercury convertible with the chrome taillights. Not an easy find but they are around.

Thanks Chris!

Lots of good ideas there.

I'm interested is the responses for this thread as I have a similar long term project. My parents owned a 66 Tempest hardtop, Tahoe Turquoise with matching interior. The taillights have been my stumbling block, too.

I just contemplated a part to use. Would a 1/16 scale grooved brake rotor possibly provide a basis for the lights?

Just thinking out loud.
