You're looking for a two letter code (i.e. VV) which is most likely located to the right or below the LOF logo. Tell me what you see, and I can reference it in my 53-72 NCRS spec guide for you.
Oh, and what year model?

I have a couple of hardtops and wondered what year they were really for. I know about dates on motors and parts but wasn't sure how it was done on glass! Don't have the codes handy but I will check them tomorrow.
