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,
