So...my 1946 Chevy was illegal because it had red taillight lenses, but no
built-in reflectors?
This sounds like one of those 'seldom-enforced' statutes that LEO's can
issue tickets for when they're having a bad day and want to spread the woe
around a little.
I wonder what he'd make of my Police Interceptor with the blue and white
strobes built into the headlights?
Have a WONDERFUL day!
