Large side markers coupled with old, flush front bumper = 1970 to 1972. Why are we listing as 1972 instead of 1970? |

1972 was the year from the old main pic, which was very fuzzy. |

But how was "1972" determined if the '70-'72 models were all identical from the outside? We normally use the first year of a possible range. -- Last edit: 2012-10-24 22:25:43 |

I don't know, whoever labeled it never explained why. I frequently find things with the last year of a model range listed. |

OK, then a change to 1970 is appropriate. -- Last edit: 2012-10-24 22:31:53 |

Enlarged front indicators came in 1971, separate reverse lights also, that's why I suppose '1972 MY' here. Old and new indicators to compare. We have the Checker year-by-year changes' list already. Any suggestions how to improve it are welcome. Some actual dates have been found on Checker fan sites, some others by comparing samples of nice preserved cars. -- Last edit: 2012-10-24 22:53:39 |

Interesting. Was not aware of the turn signal change. Am not sure about the accuracy of the side reflector information. My understanding is that reflectors were used for 1968 and 1969, with true sidemarkers being used starting with m.y. 1970 (the so-called "enlarged" side markers). The windshield glued rv mirrors and the tandem wiper pattern were a running change within the 1977 m.y rather than being introduced for 1978. I have never seen a Superba with dipped bumpers or a Marathon with straight-across ones. Would challenge readers to find such photos. (There are a handful of photos on the internet purporting to be Superbas but appear to be Marathons to me.) -- Last edit: 2012-10-25 02:09:09 |

The main problem is -> web sources give different information, for example with wipers. I choose 1978 MY on forum summary because you can find 1977 cars with both wipers' types. By the way I found 1979 even as year of wipers' change. However I think the forum summary needs refreshing. -- Last edit: 2012-10-25 13:00:37 |
