Can anyone elaborate on the "six tail lights" on a Corvette. It is clearly mentioned in the Jan & Dean hit "Dead Man's Curve". What was the reason to add a pair of lights? -Clark

Sequential turn signals was the ultimate goal back here. That's why the 6 lites. JD

look at the back of a 1960 thru 1965 impala.

In the passenger car line, back "in the day", the Biscayne and other "lower end" Chevies had 2 taillights.

The Impala (top of the line) had 3 taillights.

Richard, Did not the 1958 Chevy tail panel start the two and three light arrangement?

yes the 58 started it and the 59 interrupted it. also in 58 the wagons only had one tail light on each side.GM must have spent a bundle on all the different rear end sheetmetal configurations
