Did you dig the dirt off the top of the rear bumper to see if has reverse lights ('67) or not ('66)? Unless there was another obvious telltale.

It has the big holes to mount the "fat" side trim, which changed to the "skinny" trim for 1967. Another easy tell would be whether or not it has the up/down door locks, but those wouldn't be visible in the pictures posted.

Aha! Thanks BSQUARE. I viewed the press photos in the Archives of a '66 and a '67 and immediately see the difference in the side trim. Though for you to spot that in Ceckert's photos is impressive.

I had a Teak square back in like 08. I had to sell it because I was deploying and I didn't have anywhere to keep it.
