headlight bezels?

[71fastback]

Did the 71 Mustang come with any kind of bezel surrounding the headlights? I don't have them on mine and I can't remember ever seeing them on other 71's. Was it only the 73's that had them? Thanks

The 71&72s only had a mounting ring around the headlights. The square bezels, sometimes referred to as "headlight doors" only came with the 73.

I hate those square bezels; ironically, I have a '73.

We may be saying the same thing but just to be sure..... On a 71-72 Mach 1, the headlight bulb is held in place with a stainless steel retainer fastened to the headlight bucket with 3 screws. That retainer is covered with a narrow, round, black ring secured with a single screw. Chuck

I have just converted my '71 Mach 1 from a '73 grille installed by a PO back to a '71 grille.

On all '71-73 models, the bulb is held in place by a stainless steel ring. On the '71 model, the stainless is covered by a narrow round black ring. On the '73 model, it is covered by a wide rectangular hedlamp door.

That's exactly what I meant. I typed my above post at half past midnight local time and my skills in expressing myself in a foreign language had somewhat suffered...

I understand. I could not begin to write in German, French, or Letzebuergesh. Your command of English is very good indeed. Chuck

Well thank you Chuck!

Respect! How did you come up with " Letzebuergesh"? How come you know how that is pronounced in our language? :huh:

I was stationed in Deutschland (Flugplatz Hahn) and visited your country on a weekend trip. That is when I learned about your country using three different languages. It seems more different languages may be used now. Chuck

 

[luxstang]

Ok, Hahn is just around the corner.

Where did you go when you visited Luxembourg?

I only had a day to visit so all I got to see was the city and the American cemetery. This was a long time ago, 1974. Chuck

That was a long time ago! I was 3 years old then....
