66 California Satellite w/ 68 Markers?

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I ran into a guy this last Friday night @ the local cruise @ Lowes in
Abingdon, MD. He had a very nice, clean, white 66 Satellite 2 dr, 318
poly, auto, console, w/ ROUND 68 MARKER LIGHTS. When I asked him about
it he said it was apparently a California car and the markers were
required by the state in 66...a full 2 years before they showed up on
production Mopars. I did confirm the date code by inspecting the
lenses and there was in fact a "66" molded into them. Anyone seen this
before? I just thought it extremely odd.

Thanks
