Now, wasn't it the '69 model year that had mandated lighting changes?  I could
see a '68 with a replacement '69 light switch but none of the '67 cars I've
seen had parking lights on w/headlights including the ones that have lived
here.    


There are two '68 models here also and I've not seen those parking lights on
with the headlights.    Marker lights, yes.  Front parking lights, no.  

Now:   Is there perhaps a mid-year change that began after the two '68s here
were built that included a light switch which left the front parking lights on
with the headlights?   Anybody?    

It's my understanding that the DOT regs mandating front parking lights on
w/headlights was a 1969 model year change.
