I believe these are the originals, if you need more pictures let me know. I will have to wait on a helper, I could not get any other ones by myself. Good Luck, Marc.

I had originals & then bought aftermarket replacements in 2003 ish. They sat in a box until finally getting installed 5 years ago.
I do recall laying them on top of each other, but its possible that I didn't pay attention to that curve. I might still have the originals, but I feel like i might have tossed them. I will look. I have almost all my extra parts stored in one area in the basement. I will also go look at what I installed in the car, which isn't going to mean a whole lot without finding the originals.

I looked & could not find the original visors I had, but here are pics of
the replacements I bought & installed. they are curved like yours are. I am going to say this is what my originals would have looked like, I do remember laying these on top of the originals to make sure they were the same as I knew it would be years before needing them. Maybe you can get another 68 owner to confirm, but I feel pretty confident about it. ![]()

I've got the repo's like 68ragtops.They matched my originals and think they were Legendary. Ames shows 2 different part #s for 68 and 9, one extra letter.

Never thought about this before but logically they should be different, the difference being that 69 and up would need an extra inch each side of scalloped area to clear the larger mirror. I don't have a 68 now but I looked at some old pics of a car I used to own (68 442 convertible) but none of the pics are clear enough to judge.
