are just a few that kinda match your desciption
look closer at the tail light is there any markings like a part # stamped into it???
Chrysler Plymouths and Dodges would be something like a 6-78 digit # starting something like 28--------
ford Mercury and lincoln start something like DE or D9

Very good now we're getting somewhere narrowed down to manufacturer... most likely near where you found that penta star there is a number which will help too...
Note guys he said this taillight is Veed sort of and it also says one piece not 2 separate tail lights...
that means mid to late 60's to early 80's most likely and Penta star means Chrysler, Plmouth or Dodge only
Your Mystery taillight is probably one of the following Cars...
1966/67 Dodge Charger
1968 Polara 500 or Monoco 500/convertible
1970 Chrysler Imperial
1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst Edition
1967 Coronet R/T or 500 Edition...
All are pretty rare ... let me know what you find out it actually is

They could be off most any mid to large size car of old, many makes and models had large taillights. Your best bet would to be to copy the serial or model number from the taillight and type it into google, it's a bit of a long shot but it might work.
Beyond that, there existed few cars that had a really wide taillight, and these cars had only one taillight that spanned the entire rear of the car. Being that a car is hardly 6 feet wide, it would be rather unusual to have two 5 foot wide taillights, unless they came from two separate cars.
They could, however, be 2 feet wide, perhaps a keypad typo in this case, there still exist a considerable variety of makes and models all throughout the years that had such wide lights.

Try www.taillight king.com for an answer
From your description, sounds like a pair of tail lamps for a 1959 Chevrolet model.

Either a '60 Impala, or a 57' Bel Air.
