I just bought a '66 Mustang and backup lights are listed as an option in the
owners manual.

My family bought a new 1964 Chevy and I remember my father having to pay
extra
to get backup lights as they were optional!
My new 1967 Mustang and new 1971 MGBGT had backup lights.B I don't think
they
were optional as I don't recall being asked if I wanted them or not.

I'm sure you're right, Andy. B I actually meant to say "until at least 1965"
as I once owned a 64 Plymouth that didn't have them.
At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
