Coolant overflow tank

Coolant overflow tank
I found a thread asking if a 72 came with an overflow tank and the responses pretty much said it was an option on all Cutlass models until 1973. My question is, what type of tank was used on 1971 Cutlass if you got one as an option from the dealer? I see plastic and metal ones. A pic would be great.
Thanks

Metricmetal, the correct coolant overflow bottle is supplied by Fusick's, It is a white plastic bottle that single bolts to fender and is supported in the front by a horizontal L bracket. Fusick's carries the complete kit with bottle lid, brackets, radiator cap and bolts for $199.00 you will need to buy or use your existing hoses. OPGI also carries it but about $288.00 for same kit and it is back ordered till 2/28. Fusick's had it to me in 48 hours. I will get some pictures of mine for you.

There is a hole pre drilled in the fender for the top tab sleeve and bolt.
You'll need to drill and bolt in bracket at the brace. If you have the charcoal canister I recommend you remove it, also you might have to disconnect the evaporator hose from the front condenser for ease of installation

Thanks to everyone who responded. The pics are awesome. My car is completely stock except for an MSD ignition so even though it's pricey I think I'm going with the one from Fusick's.

According to the O'Reilly Auto parts web site, it's a Dorman product:

Couldn't beat the price, unless you use a beer can.

No, it's one of the others in the link that I posted. I put the link to all of the overflow tanks on their web site in case someone was interested in a different style.
Here's the one on my car, which is a Droman product as well:
