RtR#018: Solved: Identify the taillights on a 51 Merc - 1970 Caddy El Dorado

[RayTheRat]

For one point, ID the taillights used on the 1951 Mercury kustom sled.  I'm starting this off in the Pro Zone to give everyone a shot at it.

I shot the photos a few years ago at the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend which used to be a pretty good show, but turned into a gang war zone...especially as the sun went down and vast quantities of adult beverages had been consumed.  I decided not to go back.

Anyway, I don't know what the sled's taillights were "borrowed from" so proof will be needed to score the point.  

I might even award an additional point if the name of the owner and/or kustomizer happened to be identified.

They look like shortened Cadillac Eldorado units ( 1969 or so ). I have no proof, per-se; just eye-ballin'

Lens appears to be very similar to 1970 Eldorado, however, chrome surround is not.

That's what I found, too.  One point for you.

[Otto Puzzell]

Looking a bit closer, I'm thinking '73 Toronado or '77 LTD II are a closer match.

Just sayin'

Well, I guess I "otto" award you a point for what appears to be a much closer match.  So, Happy New Year!...and don't spend yer point all in one place.
