do any convertibles have documented bird glass?

Our car came with no glass, did all the glass have this bird on it or was it just on the door glass?

Door glass

My second week of September convertible did not have bird glass. My third week of November convertible DID have bird glass. Neither my second week of January coupe nor third week of July '68 'vert came with bird glass.
I also had a different coupe and convertible back in 1980 and 1981 that had bird glass, but I do not remember the build dates on those cars.

I bought my 68 convert in 1989 from the third owner, who only owned it for a few weeks. He was a young guy that made a mistake and needed to sell it. Around 2017, I had a talk with the original owner (yes still alive). I tracked him down because I have all of the original paperwork including the hand written salesman order sheet. It was custom ordered and I DO have one of the broadcast sheets I found under the carpeting. The car was ordered with power windows and the tinted safe-T-glass which I still have. It has BIRD GLASS, BUT, I have seen nothing to indicate bird glass. It does have the deluxe interior and it was a spring of 68 build.

In case anyone needs some bird glass, I have an extremely nice set of non-tinted power window bird glass I got from a pair of 68 doors I rescued.

The car still has approximately 76K original miles on it!

I will check and post pics. It may be a few days until I can get to it. I've seen this topic get batted around since I had my first 68 Bird convert (bought in 1979) and it too had bird glass. No-one has solved it yet and a lot of effort was put into figuring it out quite a while back. RA1JOHN has documented an amazing amount of info on our cars and I believe he tried to run this down. I will ask him to reply to this post,
