OK, The Raspberry car had a rear reflector on the tail light panel. It's a 73.
Were these ever dealer installed? I'm thinking like the Dealer installed radios, luggage racks and Amco Consules. Will the concours weenies ding me at the PCA judged shows? Keep it or ditch the thing |

Just for clarification, Alan Mittelman of Anything Limited produced the first reflector kits (his company later became known as "Mitcom"). They were NEVER anything but cut down 911 reflectors, and they didn't appear on the market until sometime in 1974, after the panels were in the parts stream. The company may be best known for the Chalon kit, but they sold all kinds of "racing" parts as well as a big line of dressup items and car covers.

The Cap'n I agree 100% about them not being concourse original. Personally I like mine. I respectfully disagree with Capn about them NEVER being anything but cut down 911 stuff. Notice in the picture, mine has finished edges with black line and beveled edges. They're was some made for the 914. I have only seen a few.  |
