Default 1963 vette taillights

Hi all. My father left me his 63 conv and it has 3 taillights per side but most of the pics I see have 2 lights. Was this a mod he did or was it an option from chevy? Thx

It was a popular thing to do in the 60's and 70's.

Look under the tail end at the taillights area. If your inboard taillights housings look like the outer two on each side, the modification was likely done at the selling dealership.
If on the other hand the inboard housings are made from Campbell's soup cans, or something similar it is most likely pops or one of his buddies added the lights.
