1955-1957 Parking Brake Signal Lamp

[paul5456]

One of the rarest options on an early TBird was a parking brake signal lamp. Has anyone have any experience with one of these on their car ? I have gathered all the original (I think) pieces but have a question on the light itself.

That's a new one to me. Maybe a dealer option?

I don't think so. There is a factory engineering sheet on it and a part number

Thanks Doug - I have that. Looking for someone who actually has one installed or has installed one.

Still learning every day. So it was actually a factory option or dealer installed?

Ward,

The parking brake signal lamp was not a factory installed option, it was a dealer or customer installed option.

Below is the standard and optional equipment that could be purchased from the factory for the 55, 56 and 57 Thunderbird.
