FYI, if anyone does happen to run across clear 73 turn signals & plans to use them in your later model car, you will be in for a big surprise.... From my own personal experience 1973 has a different size, shape, & mounting points than later models & won't work. OTOH, if any of these "clear" signals ever do pop up, I want proof. I have heard about them, but I've also heard about bigfoot, chupacabra, & the lochness monster. Rolling Eyes

Also wanted to add this little bit of helpful info: get a rag & some Mother's Aluminum polish if you want to make your lenses look like new. Sounds crazy but works almost every time. I've also used rubbing compound & have even used toothpaste in the paste just experimenting. Both of those methods worked, but not to the effect that Mother's did. If you have some light scratches, take some 2,000 grit wet sandpaper to it before applying the Mother's.

World scientists have gathered in Siberia this week to hunt down a Yeti. Probably have the same chance as them finding a clear lens. I'll check out the half-dozen '73's next time out.

1973 Deluxe with standard lenses:

^^^ Beautiful car!

Found only one pic on the net, but doesn't say if these are stock. Interesting enough, it is an export. Wonder if these so called "clear lens" cars only went overseas?

Like I said, I would love to have real proof that they do exist. You would think that we would have seen some sets pop up on here, CL, or Ebay.

Here's the link. It's the only pic of that car & says something about Belgian plates.

http://www.eazyprinz.com/fbirds/meet/fapow01/ap01130.htm

EDIT: It's from the American Power on Wheels show from 2001.

With over a record breaking 2,250 US cars visiting the showground this year, APOW in its 10th edition still proves to be the biggest US car gathering in the BeNeLux (Belgium - Netherlands and Luxembourg area).

Any of our European members care to chime in?

Funny how a little blurp about a polished lens turns into the quest for the G3 clear lenses... lol! I wonder if the laws over there for the lens backgrounds were different then? I know that for Mercedes the Euro versions of their cars are different that the ones they import to the US. study Nice find on that Belgian car though!

This one has been rolling around on ebay for over a year. unless u can find a another one, the only other way is going by that company I posted awhile back and have them made.
