Rear Lights

Post by Donie »

Are the rear lights on early seventies, pre rubber bumper cars, the same as the rear lights on Rubber bumpers cars?

Donie,
The rear tail lamps (side, stop & indicator) changed in 1969 & stayed the same thereafter for GHND5 models onwards per MOSS.
Cheers,

The light baseplate stayed the same right through, but the post 1969 cars had a more angular lens. Here's my '69 with the earlier more rounded lenses.
