Here we have a professionally re-plated rear License Plate Light for the 1969-1970 Cougar.  The plating has been done by a plating shop that has been around since the mid-50s and the plating shows great on the light .  The wiring is brand new and includes a OEM original Wire Sleeve and a OEM original Grommet.  The OEM glass lens appeared to be in great shape, and I included a new lens gasket and bulb.  Finally included are 2 OEM replated concourse lamp hanging screws.  This is a very nice restored lamp and will look great in concourse restorations or for someone who enjoys having Ford/Mercury Factory original parts.  

Letter/Number Stamping:
SAE-L-69CR
Lamp Housing: FoMoCo  
Door Retainer: FoMoCo    
Glass: FoMoCo

Parts:
Black wire: Brand New Factory looking wire. USA made
Wire sleeve: OEM original
Grommet: OEM original
Gasket: Brand New.  USA Made



The Fact is that NOS License plate lights are almost impossible to find these days on eBay, or other vendors for 1969-1970 Cougars.  The License Plate Lights that come-up for sale are just Ford Galaxie"service parts" Lights and are different from Cougar light in design....    What I'm selling is a true Ford/Mercury Factory License Plate Light with all number/letter stamping.  Restored back to Factory condition.  The only difference from my Light is that the wire assembly is brand new.  Having a new wire assembly means not having to worry about conductivity problems that 50 year old wires cause from copper corrosion and
brittle wire insulation that can brake and cause the light to stop working.  It would cost much more time and money to purchase a OEM light and have it professionally re-plated and get all the accessories that I listed above.  Anyone can paint a light, but plating brings the light to a whole another level.  Worth the investment for your Pony.

Don't settle for foreign reproductions, keep your Cougar real with Factory Ford/Mercury Parts.
Keep searching you won't find another Factory 1969-1970 license plate light in this condition on eBay....

Price estimates for making the license plate light look FoMoCo Factory again:  
This is how much will cost, if you plan on doing your own license plate light restoration.
Purchasing a good OEM license plate light:  $25-30
Professionally re-platting the license plate light:  $80-90
Purchasing accessories to complete the light:  $20-30
Time: Finding a good plating shop and driving fuel prices:  $5-10

Jaguar & Land Rover eschew Detroit for Delhi

Thu, 03 Nov 2011

The Jaguar C-X16 will be on show at the Delhi Motor Show in January. Although Jaguar Land Rover has revealed that it won’t be exhibiting at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show in January – instead it will be out in force at the Delhi Motor Show – it’s really not a huge deal. Motor Show exhibiting is an expensive business, and despite JLR’s strong sales, costs are a factor.

Nissan GT-R beats its Nurburgring record – more to come today?

Fri, 17 Apr 2009

The jubilant Nissan GT-R team celebrates their new lap record at the Nurburgring [ad#ad-1] The Nissan GT-R is indeed an impressive car. It offers real supercar performance for what appears to be a relatively modest price. Admittedly it still costs an arm and a leg to service, and with exchange rates as they are at the moment it will become less of a bargain, but it’s certainly chucked a very big spanner in to the works as far as the more established Supercar makers are concerned (Porsche in particular had plenty to say about the last time the GT-R set).
