License plate lenses 1800

[Greg Kimber]

The license plate light lenses seem to be unavailable for a '67 1800. Mine were 56 years old and just disintegrated.  I am considering contracting with a firm that has a 3D printer to create some. I do not expect them to be exact replicas but at lease to fit the gasket and keep the lamp protected. 

Are there other NK people who have an interest in some?

I would be interested depending on overall cost. I have a 5/66 1800

Of course.  I'll wait a week or 10 days and see the level of interest. Not sure if it will be 6 or 60. That will impact the price as well. 

Not sure what other NK cars these will fit, but if you have another model NK I'll leave that up to you.

Did they change through the years or stained the same?

I'm not sure. the image is one from a 1967 1800.

My 1969 1800s have this model:

That looks a little different than mine from my '67. but could be worth a try. Do you have a source?

Unfortunately no more available

Thanks for the lead. I'll keep looking.  I bet I'll have to try a 3D printer. Will not be exactly the same.

I never think much about the license plate lights on my '67 2000 but they are quite different from the 1800 version. I wonder why...

That would have to do with the vertical taillights vs. the horizontal, more "upscale" look of the 2000s, the filler piece on the trunk lid, and the chrome trim between the taillights.  Only Giovanni would know for sure, if he did the re-design. (and was still alive)
