Strange side window date code '68
Mine is a March '68 build.
The passenger side glass (hardtop glass, also) are dated VZ (Dec '67) - Makes sense.
The driver side glass is dated GX (April '68) - What the ??? A month after the car was built?
Logical to anyone?
Thank you

Or the car was stolen shortly after it was bought. I'm sure a lot of '68's were stolen shortly after being introduced having a design that was so new and radical at the time.

The car is new to me and every so often I'll check part numbers. When all the other glass checked out to be date correct, I guess I had blinders on, and was looking for a reason why an April window was on my March car. I never gave it a thought that the window may have been replaced at one point in its 50 year life cycle.

Just found ANOTHER part (water pump) dated (April '68) - one month after the car's build date. Don't mind me, I'm just talking to myself.
