Which American Car Was First With Amber Rear Turn Signals?
What was the first American car — as in American-built, for the American market — that had amber rear turn indicators?
Ford seems to be a vanguard here, with some early entries, like the 1975 Ford Granada. GM gave it a go in late 1975 (as a 1976 model) with the Chevette, and Mopar played with it for one lone year with the ’77 Fury.
Before all these, though, there was the Mustang II. In 1974, Ford’s Pinto-based Mustang sequel came with glorious citrus-colored rear signals, which, along with the body-colored bumpers, may be the biggest stylistic and safety innovations of the car.
