Does anyone have a source for side reflectors? I have a 69 Coup and one of them looks to have been replaced recently by a PO the other is in pretty rough shape. Try as I might I have not found anyone making them, or any NOS ones.

check the baywindow bus section for 68-69 models. I believe they used the same reflectors for those years as well.

LOL, I kinda like them. With everyone pulling them off you would think there would be more available.

I like em too - makes the car unique. Same with the high back seats Smile.

Keep looking on here and a pair will turn up sooner or later.

I'm with the "don't like" group. I took them off my '69 Coupe and still do not know what to do with them. I will be looking at smaller alternatives when I'm on the finishing stage.
