Despite what I'm sure is the onset of senility, I remember something about, years ago, being able to tell the model year of a car by looking at the tail light lenses. The model year was molded into the taillight. I know that auto manufacturers have since stopped doing that. Can anybody else shed light on the subject? When did the practice stop?
back in the 70s, my dad told me that if you put gasoline on the passengers' side, then the car was foreign. if you put the gasoline on the drivers' side, then it was domestic. i think that this has also changed.

Funny. What about my 1969 car that refilled from the rear license plate area?
It was probably built in Detroit with the engine coming from Windsor, Ontario making it a borderline case so they compromised. It seems that lots of domestic cars used to place the gas cap there. Some took forever to fill due to the low angle of the filler pipe. Working in a gas station in the early 70s was a bit of a challenge at times to find those dang things. With older Beetles you had to open the trunk to access the gas tank. My brother used to have a 57 Olds. The tail light flipped down to reveal the gas cap. At least I think that's the car he had that did that.
I was good at figuring out if the car coming behind me,or going the other way was a cop car by the headlights,in the seventys.now i have a hard time figuring out what make cars are since they all look the same.
My 1969 Cadillac has the filler in the rear behind the license plate. So does my '76 Cadillac.
