Not a factory option. This was done as a custom.

Well, it was kind of done at the factory(at least once). Check out these '68 prototype clay model pics.

I don't think I like it, but the beauty of any hobby is being able to do things your own way, so more power to him.

Default Should have been factory on C2's

It looked great on the 63 -67's and should have been factory but it just doesn't look like it belongs on the C3's. The lights are too big.

I don't care for the extra lights but agree - beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Glad that was not ever a stock option. Whoever did those though did a good job, looks like it came like that.

Whew, ugly as a 63-67 hack job, even uglier on a C3.
