Yeah, my guess would be 1968. ---(I like fresh chocolate chip cookies.) After dark that was the easy way to identify the new cars. At the time I had a big 1964 two door hard top Oldsmobile Starfire, (not to be confused with the smaller Jetstar.) I wired in a relay under the dash to operate the parking lights when you turned on the headlights (just like the new ones.) Now that did create some confusion with the locals, but I explained to them that the Oldsmobile company was away ahead of it's time with that idea. That line fooled some of them, however half of the guys had it figured out, as they new I was an electrician.
