: 70 SS Front Turn Signal Lenses myls6 Oct 11th, 02, 6:56 PM I am told that 70 SS front turn signal lenses should be clear. I have an original 70 SS with orange lenses. I also have an original 70 SS dealer brochure and an ad that shows both cars with orange lenses. Which is correct? drptop70ss Oct 11th, 02, 7:09 PM Clear lenses for the SS. ------------------ Dave 70 chevelle ss396 conv 66 chevelle ss396 hdp/conv 68/72 chevelles 55/57/61 chevies TC member #493 Never forget Earnhardt! Jeffry72 Oct 11th, 02, 9:10 PM drptop70ss How do you know that? myls6 has some pretty compelling proof. Barista Oct 11th, 02, 9:17 PM Droptop is correct. 70 SS's should have clear lenses with amber tinted bulbs. All others got amber lenses. ------------------ Bob Von Kaenel 70 SS 54k orig miles My car.

Sometimes those ads mean't (I believe) to depict the parking lights only to be turned on but I've also seen errors in some of those ads. If one of those brochures you have is the young fella standing by the red SS(black stripes) with the left door open, look at the hood of that SS.......shows cowl induction emblems on the hood but I don't see an open flapper or the outline of a closed one. 70Z15 Oct 11th, 02, 11:08 PM <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ohhawk: look at the hood of that SS.......shows cowl induction emblems on the hood but I don't see an open flapper or the outline of a closed one. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I have a reprint of the 70 sales brochure, I can see an outline of the flapper door on mine. I assume the car in running, that is why flapper is shut. Also, the parking lights are on, so they appear amber. Clear lens/amber bulb is correct for SS, amber lens/clear bulb for non SS. 7t Oct 12th, 02, 10:21 AM <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ohhawk: Definitely clear lens with amber bulbs.
