With all the recent talk about model year, backup lights etc., I was
wondering how much ambiguity there is in roadster model years and features.
I have a '69 2000 (SRL31107031) and have the round rear side marker lights
('69) but also have two back-up lights ('70).

Also, concerning hardtops: when I got my present 2000 in 1978 I shopped
around for hardtops.  A place in Bethyl Park PA called Parrish Plastics had
a smooth rounded hardtop that sounds like the factory hard tops.  At the
time I opted for a Custom  Hardtops (Longbeach) top instead.

Does anyone know if Parrish Plastics still around and did anyone try one of
their tops.  They sent me a snapshot of one 21 uears ago that I could post
if anyone wants to see what they looked like.

You'll see there that they went from one to two backup lights for the
'70 year model cars.
