| Today in the Eastwood Garage segment , Ashley Sangster from Classic Industries joins Dennis. They take a look at lights, lenses, and bezels for classic GM cars. After Dennis makes reference to this “illuminating” conversation, the two begin to talk about replacement parts for lights, lenses, and bezels. The more they talked. it quickly became apparent that there were a gazillion different parts for several different models of cars. Dennis and Ashley both confirmed this notion saying that there used to be many more models and that lamps and windows changed with each one. As they began to look at the parts that Ashley had brought with him, it became even more apparent that there were marked differences among all the parts. However, what is now comforting to know for certified car nuts is the fact that the parts for particular option packages or models have now all been faithfully and correctly reproduced by the folks at Classic Industries.
First, Ashley showed Dennis a tail light bezel for a 1968 Camaro. Made from die-cast chrome and complete with black detail, this piece is factory correct in every way. Normally if you had to buy a NOS part like this, you would hear, “cha-ching” as the cash register sounded. Just remember, reproduction parts from Classic Industries are licensed GM restoration parts. This means they are produced using the original tooling and injection moldings. Also, don't forget that they are available at a fraction of the cost of NOS parts. Next, Ashley showed Dennis a 1969 Camaro headlight bezel. Once again, this reproduction part is perfect in every way.
The hits just keep on comin' as Ashley had a 1970-73 Camaro Rally Sport tail light assembly that includes the pig tail bulb and everything needed for a simple take-out, plug-in replacement. So, you think you have a tough one, huh? Well, Classic Industries has these types of parts for more than just Camaros. There was a tail light assembly for a 1962 Nova, and there was a side marker for a 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Also, here is another nifty piece of information. Do you remember when you could rub the dirt or dust off the taillight and tell the model year of the car by the numbers on it? Well, these parts from Classic Industries have all the correct markings and stampings just like the originals. How cool is that?!
So, if you're looking for a tail light lens for a 1967 RS Camaro, a 1970-73 Camaro rear-side marker with backing plate, or something truly bizarre, look to the folks at Classic Industries for all the lights, lenses, and bezels for your classic GM car. Oh yeah, they also have gasket kits for all makes and models. You can find out more by visiting them on the web at www.classicindustries.com , or give them a call at 800-854-1280.
