I got an absolutely beautiful reproduction part in the mail on Saturday and thought I would share it with you.

Glenn at Cars just sent me a reproduction of the Early 1970 Clear top & bottom Overflow Jug. It looks really nice, so I took a few pics and am posting them here.

If you are looking for one you should contact Cars.
Enjoy.

Holy cow Glen is still there? He must be 90. Nice piece!

Here is some info that will help you figure out when this part was used on the production cars.

Richard Lassiter asked me to do this article for the GSCA newsletter. It is offered here as a guide,

Below is the time sequence for these parts. Cars built on or before week 11D would have been built with only early style parts.

Early Style Parts, Up through 11D (4th week of November 1969)

Plastic Radiator cover, with metal end caps, and associated emission decals.

Clear Top and Bottom Radiator Overflow jug

Tri-shield Courtesy Light Lenses (4-tab)

Pointy Instrument Panel Lenses

Tall Numbers/Lettering on Gauges

I have an 11D Flint car with 1, 3, 4 and 5 on this list. All I was missing was 2 (clear overflow jug). Your research certainly matches what's on my car, Duane. It might as well have been Christmas in July when my clear overflow jug showed up yesterday.
