I really need a tail light lens for a 37 cad, please help.  Can be flawed, doesn't matter.   Robert Brown, 813-753-8961  thanks.  Thanks Harry Scott, he sent me a lens and I now will attempt to make a mold for this lens.  Bob.

Have you checked with AllCads.com?  They have a lot of parts they don't list.

Allcads used to sell them in plastic. I bought two from Ed many years ago only to find the reproductions he was making were for the 38 which is a smaller lens allowing for the chrome bezel. Sold them both on only to then buy a 38 that needed them UGG!
When I can get out into the shed I'll see what I have left.

I just checked last night and I completely forgot that the 1937 Cadillac lens is different from the LaSalle lens of the same year.  Sorry...

Thanks for the response and what an education.  I had no idea that there were so many differences in the lenses.  I hope the one that Harry sent me will fit, I will keep you posted.  The lens should get here Friday.  Oh, my model is a 37 model 60 Cadillac 4 door. Thanks again for all of the responses.  Bob.

Harry sent me the 37 Cad model 60 lens. but I couldn't use it because of the damage to it, so I am sending it back to him. I am still looking to buy a lens.  I didn't realize that there are reflective ridges on the inside of the lens that would be almost impossible for me to recreate for the purposes of making a mold, so I will hold off until I get a complete and undamaged lens. I anyone has info. or has one, I want to buy it.   Thanks everyone for your help, Robert Brown.

I finally realized that these are very rare, so I broke down and bought the one on ebay for 485.00, so I am good for now, and I will let you know how the molds come out. Bob.
