<VV> what year did stop lites become mandatory (No Corvair)

[DTerry8123 at aol.com]

Chrysler products had a center mounted brake light at least as  far  back 
as 1946. It was mounted in the center of the trunk lid. They may have used  
it some before WWII.

The term  for the light being discussed is CHMSL, or center high mounted 
stop light,  which became mandatory for the 1986 model year. Not sure how many 
cars had it  before then, but it wasn't very many.
