Entirely possible, recouping Expense that is. As I remember it, it took 6 months to get them as well. Do you know how to get in touch with George? Perhaps I would rather buy them than make them. If they're $1,000 & I have to wait 6 months for them perhaps making them isn't such a bad idea...

I only offer this to save you some grief and possible expense that you won't recoup.
George Laurie offered them, and I got a set from Sweden too. It has been a while since I sold my 56, and
those sources may not be current (?)
If they are still being made and at a reasonable price, it would seem a third producer would not sell many
for the expense and effort. It sure would be nice to have a current web list of who makes what for our cars
with POC's. Not much sense in re-inventing the wheel. :-)

I've heard there were repops available but not where or who. I did hear that a set was bought from "Europe" & that they ran $1,000. I wouldn't call that reasonable.

Aren't there already at least two people making these ? I know I bought several sets of repro lenses
when I had my 56 Adventurer. They were perfect quality and reasonably priced.

Just testing the waters re: interest in Reproduction Tail Light Lenses for a '56 Desoto. UV Resistant & Non fade colors. If there's some interest, other than mine, we plan to make a test run based on my "Best Set" about the 1st of next year. My brother has had considerable experience with Buick & Pontiac Lenses from late 40's & early 50's. I'll let the list know how they turn out.
Thanks all.
