Are you saying Kanter does not have them at all or just does not make them? At any rate, Tucson Packards (Chirco Automotive)packardpartsonline.com/lighting.html also lists them as marker lights at $45ea.

If they are no longer available there then about the only other option would be to check some of the guys who also deal in used parts like Mike Dulinski MnPACSLER@aol.com 218-721-4631 or Seattle Packards in vendor directory and see if they have any good ones.

couple years ago, I bought those marker lights from Packards International

IIRC, the rear door/fender-mounted courtesy lenses as offered by PAC first appeared about 20 years ago. I got the ones needed for the one '55 that I used to own and a couple of my '56 cars from PAC. They were indistinguishable from original and even included new hardware.

I believe that was accomplished by Patrician Industries (aka - packards1), and he shared the run with PAC and perhaps other vendors. I'm guesing that they were produce from a new run of original tooling.

Could another run be made? I seem to see plenty of cars still in need of these - mostly the white for '56.
