  Appears from our research this to be 1940 1941 1942 Chrysler GLASS Tail Light Reflector which would sit top of the Tail Light Assembly either right or left tail light.  Lengthy research has not produced any part number for us on this Reflector.

  This was presented to us some time ago as a Reflector for 1946 1947 or 1948 Chrysler Tail Light.  Of course that was wrong as the 1946-48 Chrysler tail light reflectors were plastic as far as we have ever seen and held in the back by a kind of spring metal outside star locking washer that is pressed in behind the lens.  As any real plastic lenses were the product of plastics invention during the second world was, these with real glass were pretty much used pre-war most likely early 1940s.  There were some similar reflectors appear like 1937 1938 1939 Chrysler DeSoto Dodge or Plymouth so might also be applicable, we just don't have any information on these other than Chrysler 
  I have had one other of this type (glass reflector) in hand that mounted with kind of spring ears that sort of allowed you to twist the Reflector Assembly into the Reflector opening.  Not sure if that model would have been earlier or later than this one with the bracket/nut installation, I'd think the spring model likely the later.  Oddly enough the 1946-48 version is listed as MOPAR/Chrylser Part (P/N) # "1163607 BUTTON, Tail Lamp Reflector, Assembly.  Not sure why the 1946-48 reflector would have been considered an "assembly" except that P/N might have included the lens and the star-lock mount washer.  Also seems I have seen these 1946-48 original plastic reflector lenses deteriorating, bleaching to clear and then sort of separating as though there was a clear inner and then a red outer layer possibly originally bonded together.
  Including here is what we have found even on the 1946-48 Reflector Assembly because I am not absolutely sure of this application and we just can't find absolute identification/descriptions and we don't have an original 1940-1942 Chrysler Tail Light Assembly on hand for direct comparison.  Anyone with better description is perfect welcome to help.

Eterniti Hemera

Fri, 09 Sep 2011

Eterniti Motors, the new British boutique manufacturer, today released further details of its prototype super-SUV, the Hemera. The Hemera is essentially a heavily re-worked Porsche Cayenne, which features a ‘limousine-like rear cabin' that boasts a plethora of luxury additions such as Maybach-esque twin electric reclining seats, an iPad for each passenger and a drinks chiller. The carbon-composite bodied SUV will be hand-built in London and aims to deliver ‘considerable' driver appeal in addition to its limousine moniker which, according to Eterniti, offer customers the option of being chauffeured as well as being driven.

2013 Porsche Panamera facelift caught on video

Mon, 04 Jun 2012

The facelift for the Porsche Panamera is due to arrive later in 2012 (or early 2013) and has been caught on video in Stuttgart. It’s three years since the Porsche Panamera was revealed at the 2009 Shanghai Motor Show and it’s time for Porsche’s big saloon car to get an overhaul. The 2013 Panamera, complete with cosmetic tweaks and oily updates, is something we expected to see at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013, but with what looks like almost complete cars popping up in Stuttgart perhaps the tweaked Panamera is going to bow in at Paris in September instead?
