I was just looking at my Durham 54 Ford Ranch Wagon and noticed that the tail lights have the center protrusion. Does anyone know if the 53 and 54 Ford tail lights are the same?

If my memory serves me correctly they are the same except that the 54 has a very slight enhancement surrounding the protrusion in the center and 3 raised lines from the protrusion to the outer edge of the red lens....creating a "star-like" effect.

Thnks John for the suggested images. It would appear that the lenses are the same for both 53 and 54 Fords. As to the Durham model, it definitely a is 54 as evidenced by the grill, side trim and the base plate.
