OK then. What car? What tail lights?:

There's a hint in the license plate. "19 Texas 66".

Yeah, Jim Hall knew folks at GM. They sometimes gave him stuff.

First generation Miata...

I am afraid that we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Pure 80's goodness....

The early '60s Thunderbirds look like they're about to blast off.

'64 Corvair Taillights.

Edit: Chapparal, I remember my dad telling me about them.

Mopar has gotten a lot right lately taillight wise.

I've always liked these

If you look at the NSX you'll see where they came from: Lincoln has been doing some stunning rear ends lately (except when they tryed to put a sedan rear light setup on a SUV). Too bad about the fronts.

Hah, I was just about to post these. The rest of the car is pretty underwhelming, but I really like how the rear looks.

The blinkers point the wrong way. Left side blinker points to the right, right side blinker points left. Which way is he going? Is he going left or right?

Yeah, I'm a stuck record.

The person who framed that picture got the year wrong, that's a 1959 Cadillac.

The tail lights on a '58 Mercury were pretty interesting:

For modern taillights, besides all that Dodge has done, I saw a 2015 Escalade, and I have to say it looks good, especially at night.

It's the other end of the vehicle, but the turn indicators out on the hood of my grandparents Plymouth Fury are something I remember as being pretty special when I was 4.

I like the thrusters on the '58 Bonneville...
