Re: C3 Visual ID guide (70L46Conv4Sp)

Beginning in 70 rear of fenders flared slightly to reduce road rash -in response to owner complaints. Makes for an overall more muscular look in my opinion. :cheers:

The '69's have the engine information on the center console while the '68's do not.

The '68's have a plain passenger side dash cover while the '69's have a map pocket.

82: First year to offer opening "hatchback" rear window option. "Cross Fire Injection" above front fender vents.

The hatchback was only installed on CEs and not even an option on the others. IT's was CE exclusive, if you see one installed on a non CE they are using the aftermarket kit or someone parted out a CE.
