We went around car peeping at the local dealer and noticed that some of
the 86's didn't have the third brake light , i.e. Buick Grand National.
Aren't they suppose to be mandatory or can you request that it not be
installed?

I don't know what that distance is, but I'm sure it would be met on any full size American car.

I was told (by either AAA or my insurance company) that the third brake light is mandatory on all cars manufactured after October 1985.
