    Those hoses were on '70 - '72 cars. Oldsmobiles as well.

    When Steve was reproducing them, he offered four different dates: 10-69, 2-70, 7-70 and 1-72.

    at first i didnt see any markings so i gently cleaned the hose on the 72 skylark and i could just make out the swan markings...very faded though

    this is the crimp on the pressure hose...both hoses are original,the crimp on the 71 car is different supporting the fact of different parts suppliers l 20230523_182410.jpg
