I was talking on this same subject to JOE Iaccino in phoenix ARZ, who has a pretty rare 1933 Chevrolet standard 3 window coupe with rumble seat.  They did not offer the rumble with 34-35 std's.

Apparently he thinks the tail light pot with no identation and bulb partially sticking thru rubber grommet, is a 1933 Chevrolet std series only and the taillight pot with the indentation and stainless triangle piece is a 33 master and used on 34 master and 34-35 standards.

One other maker of tail light pots supplied for the aftermarket supplied was EVELITE, these typically had the license plate supplied glass across the top.  I think a company called KY-LITE also supplied the 33-35 tail light pot.

NOTE....the 1935 Chevrolet master and the -1936 master/standard series tail light pot is much longer where the pot mounts to the tail light arm.  Does not fit the 33 master/std, 34 master/standard--35 standard tail light arm.  These 35/36 have a L bracket on the rear of the pot riveted on and thats how you easily identify them.



NOTICE on the pot marked EVELITE in the top, in the 2nd picture that SAME pot has GUIDE STAMPED on the back.......this stuff gets crazy......lmao

Ok, now I am confused again. will these new buckets work for a  '36 master coupe?  I was under the impression that they were the same.
Thanks for any info about the tail light buckets.

NOPE, the 1935--1936 master 1936 standard. the tail light pot is different and is shaped to fit the correct tail light arms where they come together.

The tail light lens for 1933---1936 is the same , just the pot changed where it mounts.

I had a right side pass side pot for 20 + years and when I went to inventory the parts for my 35 std roadster build,  I found the pot was wrong and would not match up with 33--35 arms.  Took me a week to sort out what it fit.  The right side does not have license hole in it.  Put it on ebay and it sold for $210 !!!!   surprise surprise.

There is a lot of 35-36 parts around as those cars were not popular with restorers or rodders.  With the demand for the 32--35 driving the prices way up, and the 39--40 cars, the shift has been too the 35-36 and a lot are being built.

You can thank wes rydell and chip foose for the GRAND MASTER Detroit riddler win on the $1.5 million build for the increased popularity.

LOOK for the L bracket riveted to the rear of the tail light pot , as that is how they are easily identified.   You should be able to come up with some on ebay USA.

If the seller will not ship to Canada, then ask somebody on here to receive the package and forward it too you and pay them for gas and postage to go to P O.

there is nothing listed on ebay usa for 35-36 chev tail light pots for your master.

So went into the completed listings and found a set of pictures of the correct tail light pot for 1935-1936 master and 1936 standard.   In 3rd picture the rear L bracket is missing off the pot.  Notice the shape of the tail light pot from the side as it dips into a very nice curve, much more swoopy & exaggerated than the 33--35 pot .  Altho its hard to see , the rear mounting area has a diff shape than 33-35 as its longer.

In picture #1, note the pot only has one bulb holder.......should have 2, one for brakes on bottom and other is top running lamp bulb and the license plate bulb.

I had that pot for 20 & years in a cabinet and never noticed it was diff !!!!!!!!!!
