Tail Lights & Reflectors

The mid to late 1952 vans had a very unusual rear reflector bulge as part of the rear corner. These corners are just not available and no one makes the correct late 1952 only ones, so its a case of fabricating it from scratch, which is exactly what we did.

The late 1952 models had two rear reflectors (from chassis number 20-023750 onwards), but unlike the earlier or later vans, the late '52 had this bulge that the reflector is mounted onto:

The view from the top looking down onto the reflector:

Looking from underneath upwards. Note the Hella logo in the reflector, the large diamond pattern and markings around the rim.
