Re: Forget if they’re rare - how cool are these

The Bowtie tail light lenses are not stock. An aftermarket product. The Blue Dot is an old Hot Rodder's thing. Cops would stop and ticket Hotrodders for having the blue dot jewel. Most state regulations stipulate that only police and emergency vehicles can have blue lights or signals on them. Some hot rodders ran them anyway in defiance. Some cops had bigger fish to fry.
Some guys only screw them on while parked at a car show. Depends on local circumstances.
