I have a tail light outer housing. It is chrome and in very very nice condition but it is hard to sell when I do not know what it fits. I have looked everywhere on the internet and have not been able to find it. The part number inside the housing is C80B-13215A. It may be for a Mercury. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks . Walter If needed you can email me at ezzellsjcase@aol.com
 
C= decade 1960's, 8 = 1968, O is Fairlane or Comet, I believe, B means the part was originally released from design by Body Engineering.
Maybe someone here in the Barn can clarify the "O" for us all ?
 
C80E-13215-A is an engineering #. If your buddies with someone at a Ford dealer with and old Microfich reader with all the microfilms he can cross that # and tell you what it fits. 13215 is a basic # for a R park light assy. 13216 is a L. The "E" in C80E will probably end up as C8OZ. My guess is "68 Fairlane type" car but I'm guessing.
 
"E" is Engine Engineering released part, "B" is Body Engineering, "C" is Chassis Engineering and "E" is Electrical Engineering. A "Z" in place of E,C,B or E in a part number in that (fourth) place indicates the service part number ( dealer) of the part.
 
I'm not for sure, but Ford # 13215 is a front parking lamp frame or bezel. 13200/13201 are the complete parking lamp assemblies, 13208/13209 are the lenses and I think 13215 is the chrome frame/bezel - probably right side.

So the piece should fit a 68 Fairlane/Torino. But I don't have a parts book for that year - maybe somebody can check and confirm it?

Here's a pic (if it'll post) of a '68 Torino, which the part should fit:
