Needed, W111 bullet signal lenses and outer grille shell
So a guy in a tow truck backed into my coupe last night, thankfully seems to only be trim pieces damaged so far. Classic Center has most items but I still need 2x the beehive style turn signal lenses in clear (classic only sells amber) and the outer chrome grill shell in excellent condition (classic sells all insert materials).
Also, does anyone know of the grille shell on a coupe is the same as a sedan or is it specialized? Please PM me if you can assist.

Sorry, sounds like a huge PITA.
Clear beehive or bullet lenses? Last edited by JMela; 07-12-2012 at 11:08 PM. |

Here's a single clear bullet lens, think this is what you're looking for, part no is 1118200520.

I have a pair of NOS with chrome rings. They're amber which is what I would use in any case.

The grill part number is A 110 888 10 15. It is shared with the sedans and coupe/cabs except for the late model low grill coupe/cabs.

Thanks for all the info. Yes, my car had clear signal lenses in the bullet style. I did notice the one in the eBay ad is different than mine and found out that mine was not only rare for being clear, but rare for being an early version of clear, it has radiating ridges that flare out from the center to the outer edge, the replacement like in the auction has a smooth outside with ridges on the inside. I am sad I can't get them, they were one of my fav parts about this car. I don't really want amber, I like the clear look.
Thanks for the part number info!

It's a shame!! Most tow truck drivers drive like idiots (and probably have the IQ to match)! I HOPE he is covering all of the expense. I would keep the clear lenses as well...that's 1962 was all about.

Also, Classic Center confirms that grille is no longer available (they also said correct PN# is 110 888 00 15) but I have been lucky to find a couple from parts cars. I've decided to stick with clear blinker lenses, there are still enough online.

Ok so now I'm getting confused... I've had two different ppl offer me grilles that are supposed to be the part # mentioned above but they both have only 5 rows in the lower of the grille mesh panels meaning the very bottom panel is shorter that those above it. Mine has 8 rows in all the panels so my bottom panel is the same height as the others. When I google images of other tall grille coupes they match mine, so is it possible that two different parts have the same part number or can anyone confirm if that it's correct for a 1962 coupe? Is the number stamped anywhere on the grille? Another option stated to me was that perhaps the insert is different but the outer shell is the same size.

Hey Marrs: Could you get us a pic of the signal lenses and measurements on the grille shell? As far as I know, there was only a "long" and a "short", and only the later Coupes (made after sedan production had ceased) had short.
But early cars are known for deviations at times.
