My '63 and '65 Pontiacs have back up lamps but as you point out they were optional content. K

Don't recall ever seeing one of them without b/u lights. It would make them stand out more, or if someone replaced a white lens with a red one would make it look like a subtle customizing job.

So, the b/u light was just placed where a red lens would normally be if you didn't order b/u lights. Shows what I know about mid 60's Corvettes, which is not very much.

Wow, this is great stuff!! Didn't know there were that many!! Now the question is, what is the date on these "duplicate" lenses?? On my 1969 Nova (original picture), it's '68.
