Commander 57 ◊ 2013-02-22 21:35	Possibly yes. The windshield changed and side reflectors (not side markers) were added but not sure if it was by the start of m.y. 1968 or if they were running changes. I personally would have no problem with limiting the range to '66-'67 pending more precise info. Regardless, we can keep the subject car at 1966 as first of possible years. -- Last edit: 2013-09-11 04:25:43
