They seem to have put a whole lot of words in the description. What is is really off of?

It really does look like George Jetson's "car". LOL

A number of boats used these stern lights. The Chris-Craft Ski Boat in the mid 1960s was one.

Those lights fetch a good price on eBay all the time- that "buy it now" price really isn't that far out of line... If you REALLY need it to finish that restoration project, that's a small price to pay!

That's cheap. I've seen them go for a whole lot more.

Starcraft had em too. I'm sure a lot of other makes also. I've got one word for them, Resto-mod. :P

Great looking trim, Gil. The jetson light didn't come on my boat. I got mine off an old junker. I like the jetson better than what came on it originally. It's chrome was gone so I stripped it and polished it out. A 1963 stern light with JAPAN stamped on it. Don't know what company made it.

I bought one that was NOS off Ebay about 6 months ago for $117.50. You can find them for MUCH cheaper then what that guy is asking. The globes pop up from time to time as well. Mine was still in the box and had the purplish globe, so I do not believe that is a product of age.
