Does anyone know where I can get a glass rear tail light lens for my 57 Chevy? With the gas fill pipe right above the driver's side rear tail light, gas spills ruin the plastic lens in no time. I went through 3 or 4 plastic lens every year and would like to get a glass lens and stop the expense.
Thanks,

I have never heard of a glass replacement lens. I try to be careful as to not get gas on the lens. There is also a burp valve that installes in the filler neck that prevents gas from surging out around the cap on fast acceleration.
If you find a glass lens post info. here. cool
