Golly!

I have that very round back up light on my 444 - came with the car. But I've always thought it was from some other car, because it has "FORD" stamped in the body of the lamp, just behind the ring that retains the lens. There's an identical light on an early 50s Packard that parks near my office, but this one's stamped "PACKARD." I initially thought mine was a dealer installed or aftermarket Intended-for-a-Ford piece, then thought they must be generic aftermarket when I saw the one labeled Packard... and after seeing the pic linked on your message, I'm more curious/confused than ever.

The light looks exactly like the depiction - same curved mounting base, etc.

Maybe, for the last 13 years, I've thought I had something that wasn't all that correct (but functional and appropriately vintage)... and it's actually closer to the real deal than I'd initially thought?

Very cool. Sorry I missed the original post.

That other Cameron is a most excellent resource.

Best,
