Top 10 Taillights of 1960s Cars - Which GM/Ford/Chrysler/AMCs Are Your Favorite?!

[@tha92106]

When you showed the CTS as an example of 67 Eldo influence I could only think ",OMG, how far we have fallen."

[@MarinCipollina]

First generation CTS tail lights also very similar to 1948 - 1955 Cadillac tail lights..

[@DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL]

The CTS looked like the '67 after an allergic reaction.

[@laserwizard2]

To think that the hideous Arts and Scientology (!) design disaster tried to emulate tasteful design from classic Cadillac periods made me laugh. The philosophy when launched through today has always looked haphazard, pre-dented, and without any continuity of design (other than purely hideous). The design was cheap looking and made the cars look frumpy and thick bodied when Cadillac needed svelte looking products that were actually evocative of classical periods to offset its infusion of professional grade Chevrolet frosted SUV's and trucks.

Of the vehicles presented, the 1967 Thunderbird and 1967 Eldorado taillights are in a category of their own. Utterly exquisite.

My girlfriend's father owned one. He knew nothing about cars, so I figured it was a pooch with a 2V 289. Turns out the Roman numerals on the front fenders spelled out a number much higher than 289. In fact it was a 390 4-barrel and we had many adventures in it.

[@turbobird2000]

As mentioned by Hans, the ‘66 Thunderbird was the tops in my view. To see a 66 Bird at night on a dark road, would invoke images of a UFO… with the red floating bar of full width tail light. A real sight to be seen. Then it had the sequential turn signals too. The 67 was a follow on design of the 66. Lastly when you stepped on the brake, the faces of the people in the car behind would light up red….. no need for the high mount center brake light.😊

[@dj33036]

I really like the divided sequential tail lights on the '65, and I really liked the afterburner style tail lights on the 61-63 birds.

Fantastic time when an 8 yo can distinguish individual models by the warm glow of their red taillights! True excitement when we came up behind a Thunderbird or Buick Electra with full width tail lamps. Sequential taillights on the new Ford Mustangs and some Audi’s take me back!

Good call on that Olds custom 98. Those quad taillights really were stunning . Just 2 taillights was an awesome look also. The Pontiac 65 with the hidden taillights, #1 ,gets my vote.

That was an 88.. By the way, Oldsmobile Ninety Eight was always spelled out.. Delta, Delmont and Dynamic 88 used numerals.

[@RobertVeenstra-l1u]

I think the 68 Monaco full width design was much more interesting than the 67....and one of my favorites is the 64 Olds Starfire, a beautiful silver treatment between the taillamps and those red lenses had a very unique chrome design placed over them. Nice job, though, Adam!

[@lonwaslien104]

I don’t really have a favorite. As a kid I was always looking forward to the next year’s changes in style. I could name the make and year of cars passing by on the highway from the grille or the tail.

[@Dac54]

Yeah, being able to distinguish between model years of cars started disappearing or getting much more subtle in the 1980s. If I had to guess the main reason why, it probably had to do with keeping design costs down. As the years went by, it became pretty much impossible to tell the differences between model years. And, even if somehow one could distinguish between model years of vehicles, the fun of it, along with that wondering about how that new or updated design was going to look, was long gone.

[@jonclassical2024]

Awh man Adam, all are so beautiful...makes me so nostalgic for the 1960's autos! I will say my favs are: 1968 Park Lane, and the1960 Lincoln.... agree on the entire interior of the 1967 Thunderbird, I call it the "Montblanc"!

I think that most of the viewers would agree that modern car brands/models aren’t as distinctive as their older predecessors. You could identify them a block away. It’s even getting tougher to distinguish different models within certain brands as design elements are shared to the point that model distinction is lost. (I’m looking at you Mercedes). It speaks volumes when once upon a time tail light design was more interesting than many entire cars today.

That was an exquisite line up of fine automobiles, Adam. It just took me back to when these were common place. The Canadian Grande Parisienne in my memory had more tail lights across the back than the Grand Prix but I could be mistaken. They were absolutely beautiful especially cars especially with those awesome hidden headlamps. As you said, the halcyon of American styling. The bejewelled 64 Ford tail lamps could be an honourable mention.

[@Cadillac61]

Pretty much any Cadillac from the 50’s,60’s and 70’s. Also the impala from 1958 through 1977. The 55 Chevy has a beautiful rear end(the whole car is just beautiful)

[@MarinCipollina]

One thing Cadillac had going in the 1940s through the 1970s was elegant styling consistency. design morphed mostly slowly until it shifted dramatically.

[@DSP1968]

A great list, Adam. I was (somewhat admittedly, as I own one!) disappointed not to see the '67-'68 Cougar on this list. Nice clean rear, very symmetrical and clean, sequential turn signals with grilles that match the front of the car. And while I like the '65 Grand Prix rear end, I somehow think the '64 has a blt cleaner rear design.

[@timbullough3513]

Excellent list. If purely iconic comes into the equation ... the twin dual round Corvette tail lights and the twin triple vertical Mustang lamps certainly come to mind. You knew what it was just by the lights even far away

If you're in the Phoenix area, the Martin Auto Museum (Thunderbird Rd, Glendale) has a few hundred cars that you can actually sit in, including a 70-ish T-bird and a Superbird. Very nice place.

[@broeheemed32]

Tail lights are one of the biggest facets of a car's character, and used to change nearly every model year. This - of course - was back when you could identify a car at 50 yards. Today, they're mostly exactly the same, brand by brand, model by model..... the same stretchy amoeba shape - more on the side of the car than on the tail - that looks like every other car. I seriously can barely tell one car from another.

[@ehrengraber3533]

I've always thought the '63 Mercury Meteor tailights were very cool as they integrated both a cylindrical and a wedge-ish shapes.

[@5610winston]

The '62 Meteor and full-size Merc taillights were similar to the last sparrow-strainer Imperial gunsights of that year. The rest of the cars were almost identical to the corresponding Fords. Note, the Meteor wagon taillights were not that great.

[@butterhole7]

As a Wisconsin kid I always have place in my heart for AMC's. We had a bunch of them. So I would like to give a nod to the Marlin. All model years had basically the same rear.

Absolutely stellar line up, Adam! This video made me so happy to watch. 😊 The 67 Eldo has always been my fave and, to me, deserves the #1 spot. But I would have boosted the 1968 Mercury much higher on your list. I think the rear deck and taillights are just simply elegant partly due to the detail in the taillight itself. Ford knocked it out of the park with that design.

[@iswc27]

Great list, Adam! A few other interesting taillight treatments I can think of: the 1967-1969 Mercury Cougar, another great example of sequentials; the 1965 Chrysler New Yorker with its white lenses on early examples, although those were changed to conventional red lenses, apparently because too much material was scrapped; the elaborately decorated full-width taillights on the 1968 New Yorker with the recessed ends; the hockey stick-shaped taillights on all the full-size 1968 Pontiacs, which made them instantly identifiable, especially at night; and the full-width lenses on the 1969 AMC Ambassador SST.

[@993isgawd]

The rear panel on the '60 Conti reminds me of a grill for a 50s console radio. Agree with your top choice; the '67 Eldorado is just a stunner of a design from any angle and the rear taillight treatment is just sublime. Almost perfect; the rectangular '68 side mirrors however fit the car's aesthetic better IMHO. My granddad had one and to me as a little tyke at the time it was drop dead gorgeous. He was one of those classic "keep a car for 2 or 3 years, then buy a new one" type of guy, and sadly traded it off for a new 1970 Toranado. Honorable mention for me: 1968 Mustang Fastback rear treatment, my kind of no-nonsense minimalism.

I have to agree with the '65 Grand Prix. Just something about seeing them lit up behind that chrome "rear grill". The '67 Tbird is very cool! Never realized how neat that looks with the full panel! Cool vid!

I agree with your choice of #1. In November of 1967 I had the choice of buying a couple beautiful cars. I chose a 1966 Oldsmobile 442 over the 66 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 because of the way the rearend looked with those large taillights. I drove that 442 across the USA twice and up to Alaska. It served me very well.

When cars were rolling works of art! I hate today's plastic junk they keep offering for absorbant prices! Makes me sick to drive by a dealership! Thank you Adam for this great video!!! P.S...love the 67 Delta 88 Custom. My dream car!

I LOVE the taillight housings and lights on the '54 Buick Skylark. They were so over-the-top but just beautiful.

Indeed the 60's had beautiful automobiles. I can't stop looking at the 67 Thunderbird. What a masterpiece!

I remember an ad for the '65 Thunderbird, which was the first year of sequential taillight turn signals. The text read, 'They signal your turn with a ripple of light'. It may've been a line in a car ad, but that was pure poetry! 😁
