Here we have a professionally re-plated rear License Plate Light for the 1964-1965 Thunderbird. The plating has been done by a plating shop that has been around since the mid-50s and the plating shows great on the light. The OEM
zinc plated screws appear to be in great shape. The
wire
is OEM original from another FORD make and includes a new wire
asphalt cloth
just like the Ford Factory used in the mid-60s. The OEM
glass lens
appeared to be in great shape, and I included a new
lens gasket
and a OEM
bulb
.
This is a nice restored light assembly and will look great in concours restorations or for someone who enjoys having Ford Factory original parts.

The Fact is that NOS License plate lights are almost impossible to find these days on eBay, or other vendors for 1964-1965 Thunderbird. If you happen to find a NOS license plate light, expect to pay close to 0 and remember that Factory NOS lights are just second hand Ford "service parts" lights and not the original assembly line lights. Mostly, the License Plate Lights that come up for sale are just Ford Galaxie "service parts" Lights and are different from Thunderbird light in design... What I'm selling is a Ford Factory License Plate Light with all number/letter stamping. Restored back to Factory condition.
It would cost much more time and money to purchase an OEM light and have it professionally re-plated and get all the accessories that I listed above. Anyone can paint a light, but plating brings the light to a whole another level. Worth the investment for your Thunderbird.
Don't settle for lesser overseas reproductions, keep your Thunderbird Authentic with Factory Ford Parts.
Keep searching you won't find another restored Factory 1964-1965 license plate light in this price on eBay....
Nothing else on the Market is more Concours than OEM Assembly Line Lights.

Purchase from me and save money/ hassle $$$$$
Plating shops are closing down throughout America at an alarming rate. New regulations are preventing plating shops to stay in business. So your county or state might not have plating shops no more. I can only plate as long as I have a plating shop not far away from me. If they close their business I won't be able to plate anymore, so now is the best time to get a nice restored license plate light that is a great investment for you as a avid collector or a concours Thunderbird owner.
I stand by this product that everything is accurate and in working order. 60-day money-back/replacement guarantee. If the light stops working in the next couple of months or years! Then send me back the light to do repairs and I won't charge a dime. You will have your light back within the same week.
