Late in 1956 or early in 1957 Dick Jackson created a set of custom taillights for his 1957 Ford. The taillights consisted of a large red reflector lens augmented by smaller 1953 Buick lenses and chromed accessory spinners. Dick sold the design for the taillight to Alex Kraus of Cal Custom for $100. The Cal Custom taillights were produced and sold as Satel-Lites, and Alex sold hundreds of these sets in the 1950s.
Later on in 1957 Dick Jackson did also install a pair of Satel-Lites taillights on his 1957 Thunderbird
The 1957 version of Jerry DeVito's 1957 Ford Fairlane, The Maze, featured Satel-Lites taillights.
