From Gary:
I just wanted to let everyone who is looking for any lenses know about the quality from George Laurie, who has ads posted on our site. My friend Dan, who is restoring a '61 Imperial convertible, ordered a set of tail lenses from George, and the quality was outstanding!!! The pieces were as good as advertised, maybe even better. If you are looking for any lenses these are worth the price. George even re-mounted the lenses in the chrome rings, and they look as good as new. The turn-around was very quick, even though George is in Australia. I will order my '62 lenses and dome lens from George, and I know that it will a wise investment.
From Laurie:
Yesterday I received my last Christmas present - a set of tail light lenses for my '59 Crown (The Pink Lady) from George Laurie.
They are beautiful! We have the originals, but they are cracked and held together with black electricians tape. The new one are really red! I'm very eager to see them on the car, but as we have a foot of snow and the poor thing is only a white lump in the back yard, that will have to wait until spring.
From Mick:
Just like to tell the list, I just received new lenses off of George Laurie. The back up lenses are very good quality and fit 1958 type different to '57. I have got the new interior light lense with the crown on it. I was amazed how much different colour when its new. So the new one looks alot lighter then the old one. As well I got the crown insert that go in the hub caps. Haven't fitted those yet because I need to do up the spinner. The colours are gold, black, white and chrome. Also I got the front parkers which are just as good as the back.
These have made just great finishing touch to the restoration of my '58.
From Larry:
I have recently bought a set of rear taillights from George and if I had the choice of NOS or George's - I would take George's. They are truly excellent. He is also finishing up on other pieces for me. If you need a lense or badge from whatever year vehicle and he doesn't have it, just send it to him and he will make a perfect reproduction.
From Henry:
George's work is outstanding and the fact that he remakes what we Mopar folks need makes restoring one easier. For example, the reflectors that sit on the top of the '60 Imperials(within the stainless trim piece) are now available. A usable, reasonably good looking used ones are just about impossible to find, I did a '60 a few years ago and managed to get a pretty good set from Lowell, but what I could find for my current one was not nearly as presentable so I am very, very appreciative that George makes them. Just allows a higher quality resto.
Anyway, I won't go on but each item George has sent has been excellent.
(2 Mar 2006) From Scott Shaffer:
This may be a bit late in coming .. but I've had my 62 Imperial t/l lenses fr George for a year or so ... When I recv'd them I put them side by side w/ a nos one..visually they were the same; outstanding, absolutely magnificent workmanship.... side by side lighting comparison / charicteristics @ nite were indistinguishable fr the nos one... what a treat.
(21 May 2008) From Jeffrey F Morin:
On January 6, 2008, I ordered and paid for (through pay-pal) a pair of tail light lenses for my 1962 Imperial from George Laurie. Since the initial order and payment, I have had no luck either recieving the lenses or having Mr. Laurie returning e-mail inquiries regarding the status of my order. Mr. Laurie originally stated that he had a lot of back orders and it could be weeks to shipping. It is going on six months. I have no idea what the status of my order is. At this point, I would not recommend this vendor to anyone regardless of quality.
