Wtb 1966 “wedding ring” taillights
Wanting to see if there are any for sale here. I guess they have the chrome ring tip only and don’t wrap downward with chrome. Thanks in advance..

Re: Wtb 1966 “wedding ring” taillights
Wedding band tail lights were only installed in 66 for a very short time early in the production run and were replaced by the later (Thicker) rings that were installed until the end of production in 69, the reason they were replaced is because there was not enough surface area for the glue and the rings would fall off, so they made them bigger, I think you will have a very hard time finding them as the production ones are mostly missing the rings and the GM replacement lenses had the thicker rings, I am lucky my early production 66 Corsa has all the rings intact.

From your explanation I feel lucky my November 65 1966 Corsa still has all of its wedding rings. More evidence the car has led a fairly charmed life.davemotohead wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 11:36 am Wedding band tail lights were only installed in 66 for a very short time early in the production run and were replaced by the later (Thicker) rings that were installed until the end of production in 69, the reason they were replaced is because there was not enough surface area for the glue and the rings would fall off, so they made them bigger, I think you will have a very hard time finding them as the production ones are mostly missing the rings and the GM replacement lenses had the thicker rings, I am lucky my early production 66 Corsa has all the rings intact.

I'll have to see what I have. I need a set for my current Corsa, but I have purchased several NOS / old repro wedding band brake and back-up lights in the past.

Still looking for them. Could use one tail and one backup.. crack free. I’ve got a few but most are rough. Thanks in advance…
