    More than you ever wanted to know.

    AFAIK amber lenses were first used on 1963 models. Between pop & myself, we had two '62 Galaxies with clear lense & bulb, two '63 with amber lense & clear bulb and no less than four '64 with clear lenses & amber bulbs.

    Check Melvin’s Ford, Dennis Carpenter and Autokrafters. Google the names to get the websites. You’ll probably find they are all using the same suppliers.
