I agree. My 69 CST came with standard reflectors. It was made about mid-December 1968. I bought it new in late 1969 then noticed that other 69 CSTs I was seeing had the deluxe marker lights. I contacted Chevrolet and was told that the lighted deluxe markers, headliner and cargo lamp were added to the CST option, as I recall, in late December 1968. I believe that's when the standard markers were also lighted. Perhaps to meet new regulations requiring lights in Jan. 1969? The early lighted front markers did not flash with the turn signals whereas the later front markers did.
