Fyi guys,
Nobody has any memory of the batteries being colored in any way, including guys that worked on assembly line here in Detroit, one guy said he remembers seeing palets of the plain red capped batteries.kk.

Thanks Morty for sharing that information. I am too young to remember batteries that far back, lol. Galen's White Book for 1969-1971 cars lists option code F22 as a 46 Amp Series 24 battery with green caps, code F23 as a 59 Amp Series 24 battery with yellow caps, and code F25 as a 70 Amp Series 27 battery with red caps.
