Only the early 65s had the clear lamps. I have heard several reasons why they changed back to the red ones. The first is Cost. The clear lens with the red internal illumination was costly to manufacture. Second: The effect (lighting) wasn't as good as anticipated. Third: It was debated that it didn't meet the Federal rear illumination/reflection standards.
Of course Cadillac did something similar back in 62. They used white lenses right thru 1968.

Been there, done that! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I had a 1961 Plymouth Sport Suburban that needed a gas tank. I searched high and low and never found one. The best I could do was reseal it several times until it stopped leaking. My mechanic joked that it probably held a gallon less afterwards!

Hello Guys and Gals,
I am looking for a 1980 Chrysler Lebaron Town &Country wagon. A 1981 is ok too. It must be in great shape, no rust buckets please. It must have wood siding. Color doesn't matter. Please e-mail me any leads or sightings please. Thank you very much! DavidinHartford@Juno.com

Hi Steve!
In wagon lingo, the "Deluxe" was the base model using the Savoy trim. The "Custom" was a mid-level model and used Belvedere trim. The fanciest wagons were the "Sport" Suburbans. They had Fury trim.
When you say it is in #5 condition, what is your guide? 1-10 and 1 being perfect? I think Old Car Buyers Guide lists conditions of 1 thru 5. 1 being perfect and 5 being a parts car. For $5000 I would hope it is in really nice original shape.

Rare? oh yeah. Collectible? Wagons are in again! They are costly to restore, so get a good one. Valuable? Not when compared to a convertible. Resale is not the factor in restoring one. If you want to make a profit, get a convertible. Want to make people smile when you pull up at a tailgate party, buy the wagon!

Hello All!
I'm looking for a pair of cornering lamps for my 80 Lebaron. They were optional and only offered in 80 and 81. Anybody seen any lately?
