Ron, I can't prove for sure that they are exactly the same size on the fullsize Edsel, but the Comet lenses definitely have Edsel part numbers and they have basically similar design!

Maybe the proportions in the  Comet pictures are deceiving. remember the Comet is a Compact and anything off a fullsize car must look bigger on it.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Beautiful R-Code! I especially like it in black. I can only afford an "H" Code, although I would love a "R" or "W" Code.  :003:

  I passed on a s-code 66 GT before I got my 57. Auto, Highland green, parchment interior, car was in Gresham, Oregon. I thought his asking price of $6000 was a little on The high side.
