Commander 57 ◊ 2012-04-04 14:27	Don't know why main pix was listed as 1967 when the car has large side markers. Changing to 1970.

Small with clear lenses, small with yellow lenses, then large with yellow lenses. We have few 1967 A11 samples with sidemarkers on IMCDb.
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-04-04 17:39	Good point. Did not consider the windshield. This car must have later replacement fenders or someone added 1970 style side markers. (I believe the small units you mention for '68 and '69 were actually reflectors.) -- Last edit: 2012-04-04 17:40:07
