Cobey,
We had about 6 inches, but fluffy stuff.
I have those clear lenses on mine too with amber bulbs, but the vast majority are amber lenses. I guess it depends on the manufacturer. Contemporary may have used clear lenses.
I also remember the Cherner car had true Halibrand-type knockoffs, with the safety wire. I'm betting it's the same car. Check out:

There are a lot of good pictures of that car. Let me know what you hear.
