Midyear Hardtop Logo & Date

[John M.]

Guys, I took the headliner out of my C2 hardtop today. I was hoping to find a date stamp or job # etc..., yet there was nothing. The more I investigate I do not think my hardtop is original to my 1966. The fiberglass is White/yellowish. Does this indicate an early 63/64 top?? Also the Plexiglass appears to be very old, yet I am assuming it is a replacement. The Logo and date on the plexiglass is as follows. Can anyone identify what possible year this plexiglass was replaced???

ACRYLIC SAFETY GLAZING

Rear plexiglas probably a replacement. Here's the original on a '66 hardtop. The first line in the glare reads PLEXIGLAS.

My 1964 hardtop, which I have confirmed as having been ordered on the car by the original owner, and also confirmed through photo documentation that it remained on the car with all previous owners, is white fiberglass with gray strands. Send me an e-mail address and I'll send photos. The only marks under the headliner are the job number ("403") and the color it was to be painted ("red"), both written in chalk or grease pencil, side by side on the inside surface of the rear cross piece below the rear window. The plexiglas window is marked "Plexiglass" and below that "ASTM 12 63". My car had a Dec 13, 1963 final build date.
