Is this what I think???

Is this the 26/27 non starter car tail light bracket? Looks like it will fit an oil light.

Yes it is. It is the same one that I painted for Gordon Koll 26 non starter roadster a few years back. It is a rare bird.

Yes

That is the Improved Car bracket for non-starter T's. Gord's car!

Mark & Dan: What is funny is I got this in a trailer load of NOS parts from an older gent in Olive Branch MS. He was showing me a oil tail light he had hanging in his carport on another bracket and was saying how rare the light was. He could not believe when I told him the bracket was rarer than the light. Thanks Dan .

Is that taillight sideways or is it just my old eyes. There should be a red lens where the clear lens on the door lens is and a clear lens where the red lens is pointing to the side. I think but I am frequently wrong. Frank

No light is correct. Changed to a big clear lens in the 20’s. Cops could not see tag at night.

The 25-27 pickups use the same mounting bracket as the electric lights.
