'67 Stock B.U. Light or 6 Tail Lights?
The '67's have a pretty unique backup light. Clearly '67 was the first year for a bunch of safety mandates. Maybe that's the reason------at least two filaments per side for stop/turn/running plus backup lights.
If that's the reason, GM could have easily went with 6 light housings, putting the backup in the middle or inner one.
Of the two, which one would have looked better to you?
EDIT: I added a poll up top for our viewing pleasure.

Stock. The six tail lights looks to cluttered for me. Never liked the look.

Either one looks fine, but the stock arrangement looks cleaner.

Wow, we're at 93% for the factory '67 B.U. That really surprises me. I always questioned it's looks but I do see how there is a balance or clean appearance as you guys have pointed out.

That backup light on the 67 is part of what makes it look so distinctive.

I think the 3 lights looks fine as a modification on C2s prior to '67. But being a '67 owner I had to vote for "the big square thing".
I also think the bumpers go well with 3 lights.
