I don't know if they would bother to save money that way. By 1970, my 'cuda
has a sidemarker which consists of a long thin reflector with a small square
light as part of the same assembly. So within two years that how it was on
the "junior" model cars. They were probably working out what to do, as the

That's what I thought. Most European and Japanese model cars have a fairly
large light on the fender rather than US style side markers.
