NEED HELP Identifying a Tail-light Corvette??
I need some help identifying a GM tail-light. I got this in a myriad of boxed parts when I purchased a stalled 65 Corvette project. I assumed initially that it was a back up (clear) tail-light. The GM part number is 898718. I have noticed it has a chrome ring around the edge near the bezel. I have included pics. Help!! Thanks, Dr. Mike

Looks like a C1 front turn signal.

I'll bet that it is--try group 2.585
It's right hand--717 is left hand
