No, but it might be difficult. Not too long ago I found a new old stock 1930 tail light lens (a one year only lens by the way) for sale for $100 and it went in a heart beat!
I have heard the statement before that the tail light lens for the 1930 (Universal) Chevrolet passenger car was unique. Never did take the time to chase that one down.

Master Parts List For Four Cylinder Models, Feb 1, 1930, lists:
Sup., U, C, N Lens, Tail and Stoplight (Series V, X) # 912109

Master Parts Price List (All 4-cylinders) Feb 1, 1928, lists:
Sup., U, C Tail and Stoplight lens (Series V, X, AA, LM) # 8198445
Same Reference,
C, N Tail and Stoplight (Series AB, LO) # 819611

Parts Price List, National, Series AB, April 1, 1928
#819611 Tail and Stoplight lens

Chevrolet Six Cylinder Master Parts Price List, Feb 1, 1930

(Actually says STOP in top of lens)

Does this cause enough confusion? Your comments, with supporting documents, are welcome.

Hi guys is it possible that each year is correct but the later/next year supersedes the previous ? the tail light bodies have different or larger (clear)number plate lenses I have noted four different sizes ,possibly for each year 1926,27,28,29-30.then buy the time the 1940 catalogue came out theses cars were old so one fit all?just a thought.

Hi Jim,
I think it sort of works out that way. The 1940 issue that I have has a statement on the first page.
"The parts listed herein are necessarily subject to prior sale of the stock on hand as of the date of this issue, as additional stocks may not be procurable due to lack of original manufacturing tools or dies."
The parts books are not an encyclopedia of what has been built but more a cataloge of what is for sale at the time.
Herb

The 1926 to 1929 lens is the same. Celluloid with Chevrolet in bowtie imbedded into the material on the botton with vertical flutes on the top. held up to the light you see "stop". I have original Star Six lens that is the same except has star six instead of Chev bowtie. Billy Durant used a lot of the same suppliers. Some of the lights sold are probably off Durants and Stars. The 1930 lens has a different pattern in the top with a clear diffuser moulded into the back of it in the top portion. I have an original 1930 and am looking for an original 1929 for my Chev. Mine is mint and am willing to trade for like condition.
