Thanks Mike,
63-64 were exposed lights, then 65-69 had hidden lights, 70 and on were all exposed. 1970 is a weird 1-year car in many ways, a transition car between the 2nd gen cars and the Boat Tail 71-73s. 1970 is also the only year that had wheel skirts, although you could get them in "short" or "long".
In my opinion, the '70 looked pretty bad in the typical configuration, which had a vinyl top, a goofy side spear, and the long skirts. I had a red '70 many years ago that had no vinyl top, no spear, short skirts, and a white gut with buckets and a console... this was "the one that got away.." When I found this car, I grabbed it because the "naked" versions are pretty uncommon... maybe I'll clone my old ride. We'll see!

The typical '70 with all the "old man" stuff..
