window dates

[John S.]

Hello out there. i am restoring a 64 and have some questions if someone wants to help. my door glass is april code and my vent glass is may. what should my windshield, hard top and soft top be dated? the date on the car tag is F 25

Re: window dates

John for judging reasons the glass can be 1 yr. before the build date. production glass varies from a few weeks to months. There maybe some cars with dated glass that are all the same. my 63 was different for the vents windows and side glass. I have the original windshield but cannot recall the date.

Re: window dates

My Early April 64 has the following:

Driver Window - OCTOBER 1963
Passenger Window - DECEMBER 1963
Driver Vent - DECEMBER 1963
Passenger Vent - DECEMBER 1963
Windshield - AUGUST 1963

I am pretty sure the glass is all original to the car.

Mine has a mid-December 1963 build date with the following:

Passenger door: AC (Sept 63)
Passenger Vent: AC (Sept 63)
W/S: YC (Oct '63)
Driver Vent: YV (Replacement which also says Safety "Float" instead of Safety "Plate")
Driver Door: YC (Oct '63)
