early or late style Quarter reflectors on a 68

IIRC, the late ones require an indention in the quarter panel. Early ones screwed on directly. Look at your quarters and you should be able to tell which ones you should put on.

I have indents on my quarters.

thanks

Don't know about the indent but if I recall early ones were trimmed in chrome, later ones were trimmed in paint same as the body color-might have it backards.

You are correct. The screw on ones had chrome around them, the indented ones were painted body color.

Seems like I remember something about them changing the design in Feb. of the model year.

Early, late?
The early (first) 68's had the indent in the quarter panel and used the rectangular plastic with the outer bezel painter body color, except the Shelby's and my early 68 fstbk that have the chrome bezel. The late 68's, mid Feb., use the screw on Cougar style with the chrome bezel. This was done for cost purposes. Much cheaper to bolt on than recess the panel I quess.

'fishooks' is on the money.

pre 2-15-68 = recessed w\ body color trim, post 2-15-68 = bolt on w\ chrome trim. There was a UAW strike, had to lower costs....
