rjluna2 ◊ 2017-07-13 13:38	When did they enlarged these front indicators?
Commander 57 ◊ 2017-07-13 14:22	In 1968 and 1969, the "side markers" were just small reflectors (did not have a light behind them). For 1970, they became true side markers, as depicted on the subject car.
rjluna2 ◊ 2017-07-13 14:29	I am talking about these front indicators, not sidemarkers Commander 57.
Commander 57 ◊ 2017-07-13 23:29	Oh, OK. Sorry. I have always called them "turn signals". One source I have says they were enlarged for 1971. If true, that would make this one a 1970. The same source also says the license plate lamp moved from the bumper to the rear panel the same year. That would also indicate the subject car is a 1970.
