    "Beat tags"? Can you translate that for us non-squad-car-restorers?

      A beat is just an area of the city that an officer is given to patrol.

        So the "beat tag" is a label designating the area of the city the officer driving that vehicle is supposed to patrol?

          Correct. Its a plastic sign that the officer puts into the holder on the lightbar when he takes a car out.

                Oh, so it goes with the cop and not with the car? Interesting!

                  Installed my NOS tail light assemblies today. I have been searching since I bought the car two years ago for the passenger side one. Finally located one a few weeks ago with the older LTD script red lens, so I had to replace that with the 1983-1987 type. All the exterior trim, moldings, chrome, emblems, and lenses have now either been replaced with NOS or restored.
