Leigh,

I had not noticed that mistake in these
pictures before.  I purchased a 68 2L
new, and it had round side marker lights
on all four corners.  At least the US
version.  Side marker lights were a US
federal requirement on all cars
beginning in 1968.

'68's did not have side markers in the
US.

'69's got the teardrop side markers that
were used on the JDM cars.
