Title: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on December 23, 2004, 10:46:02 AM I spotted a set of Caddy style taillight lenses at a friend's place today, he couldn't give too much away as they were for someone else and they walked in.
Apparently they come from QLD, has anyone seen or heard about these? Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: ChrisB on December 23, 2004, 11:14:18 AM Stinky,

There's an FC getting around here with the Caddy bullet style lenses on the brake and indicators. The lady said they came from Classic Plastics in QLD. Her dad in Qld is going to get their details for me. Will let you know when I get them. Have done a search on the web, but I couldn't find them. Chris, got piccies but they're on my mobile and have no way of posting them, sorry. They look very cool.. Cheers Tony Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on December 23, 2004, 12:10:29 PM I'll try to get some details as soon as I can, but as I said the recipient of said lenses walked in the room and they had to be stashed.
I nearly keeled over when I say them, they are way cool! They look like caddy bullets growing out of standard brake/indicator lenses. So if installed as a set you have the 2 bullets. Sounds like this Rob Walker may be the guy. Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: parisian62 on December 23, 2004, 10:35:24 PM A couple of guys in the FB EK Holden Car Club of NSW have them. Contact details for CLASSIC PLASTIC Queensland is Dale McShane 07 5594 3286. Here's a (bad) pic of one that was in the background of a larger image.

Dale McShane is your guy he does a lot of plastic work such as badge inserts and other pieces of classic plastic. Last time I corresponded with him his email address was classicplastic@hotmail.com. I was inquiring about horn buttons and FC grill badges he did not do them at the time I spoke with him.

Ken It comes from Hoon Products in Vic Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on December 25, 2004, 02:00:03 AM That's them, hmmmm, not so sure about the "coolness factor" now that I have seen them on a car :-/
The indicator look like it's got a stiffy ;D Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: zulu on December 25, 2004, 04:17:09 AM Don't tell us your problems Stinky
Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: mcl1959 on December 25, 2004, 10:30:44 AM I must admit, I don't think they really suit the taillight that well at all in my opinion.
Ken Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: oldgmh on December 25, 2004, 10:54:19 AM I get a stiffy anytime I see an old holden anyway !

Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Shayne on December 28, 2004, 12:22:56 AM Come on now Alex, you'll have to post a pic of your lights after that rap ;)
I also like the FE/FC taillights 'upside down' for something different. Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Hewart on December 29, 2004, 03:34:50 AM Hey guys...
Not sure if I'm a big fan of those FE/FC style caddy lights, but I guess they'd grow on 'ya.... Here is shot of one I saw just 2 weeks ago on a 2-door EK sedan (painted as an FB). (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Hewart/extras/lights.jpg) Cheers Les...

Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: cajerridoc on December 29, 2004, 07:58:27 AM Why mess with perfection?
Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: HARKO on December 29, 2004, 11:44:17 AM Those FC lenses would be more handlable without the flasher stiffie though .
Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: HARKO on December 29, 2004, 11:48:39 AM Stinky you wouldnt have a full pic of that wagon would ya mate.

Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on December 30, 2004, 12:30:07 PM Sorry Harko, I didn't miss it, I should explained earlier. Matt sent the first two photos for me to post, but no full car shots. Matt got a reply in before I had chance so I figured it was a done deal.
Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: earlyholdenfan on December 30, 2004, 01:13:43 PM Thanks for posting pictures for me, just wanted to show a close up of the lights on a later car !
Matt Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on January 09, 2005, 11:11:02 AM Here's that pic of Alex's taillight set-up. BLTN.
Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Martin on January 09, 2005, 01:01:44 PM Stinky - What's BLTN?
And while we're at it - what's LOL - I thought is was "lots of luck" but I've seen it used in places where that doesn't make sense. Maybe RET couple set up a jargon page ;) Martin Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: nicko on January 09, 2005, 03:11:20 PM now Alex's tail lights look great,also LOL means Laugh Out Loud
Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: earlyholdenfan on January 09, 2005, 05:13:25 PM Now that is a fantastic FE/FC rear light treatment, I was just playing around with photoshop to invert them and continue the quarter panel rear out to continue the line down to the bumper hhhmmm!
theres a thought. Matt Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on January 09, 2005, 10:21:34 PM I think we have covered this elsewhere, but anyway, it's always fun to re-visit
BLTN - Better Late Than Never LOL - Laugh out Loud RATFLMAO - Rolling Around The Floor Laughing My Arse Off AFAIK - As Far As I Know AFAIC - As Far As I'm Concerned IMHO - In My Humble Opinion Usually they are just well known sayings. Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: Martin on January 10, 2005, 12:42:34 PM Thanks, Glenn. NIK (Now I Know ;D )
It reminds me of a company name I saw once: MMTYCPASA Pty. Ltd. When asked what it meant, the owner said: More Money Than You Can Poke A Stick At. Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: RET on January 10, 2005, 11:11:58 PM A friend of a friend used to have a boat called "WOFTAM". Waste Of F-ing Time And Money ;D
There's a pretty exhaustive (exhausting even) list of IRC acronyms available here: http://www.webenet.com/internetglossary.htm FIGJAM, RET Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: nicko on January 11, 2005, 05:50:58 AM funny,i had an old bondwood 18 foot boat called WOFTAM guy i got it from told me thats what it meant and he was right
Title: Re: Caddy Style Taillight Lenses Post by: fcstationsedan on January 12, 2005, 12:20:25 PM Oh Dear, 59 Cadillac tail lights belong on one car only, 59 Cadillacs! Not a whole lot wrong with FC ones!
