This Tail Light came from a 1958 Coupe.
Looks like it’s all original.
But never seen these backing plates before, they fit inside the rear wheel arch.

Re: Teardrop Tail Light Backing Plate
they are there, probably stuck to the body with undercoating, designed to slide over the nut on the small side the the others pass through the holes.

Re: Teardrop Tail Light Backing Plate
+1 John. I'll admit, I usually leave them off unless I'm doing a concours restoration. A proper washer works just fine. I can hear the groans already. ...........Jim.
