Magic Mirror trim tag
I know that the 1968 Yenko Camaros used these trim tags, and that they are unique compared with other -68 Camaros, but were they common on other Chevrolets ? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
This trim tag is from a 1962 4-door Chevy II parts car I once had. Or at least I think so. |
Re: Magic Mirror trim tag
I have seen a bunch of those Magic Mirror trim tags.
They were very common on all GM cars. Seen them on Cadillacs, Corvairs, Rivieras, pretty much through the whole GM line up. I'm not sure, but i think it must be upgraded paint. |
Re: Magic Mirror trim tag
I don't think it was upgraded paint. I think someone guessed it had something to do with the regular 68 tag saying something like.. "GMC certifies to the dealer that this vehicle conforms to all US federal motor vehicle safety standards applicable at time of manufacture"
The COPO might have been an unknown as to all those standards.... Just a guess. |
Re: Magic Mirror trim tag
Best theory I've heard yet. Makes sense, use last year's tag without all the legal fine print. An easy way to dodge future liabilty issues. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Magic Mirror trim tag
Seems like there was a couple of instances where folks had seen the tags on what were believed to have been non-COPO '68 Camaros...anyone else remember that? I'll try and dig that thread up...https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Magic Mirror trim tag
Thought they were placed on the Export cars. Bet that Nova Tag was Exported:)

Re: Magic Mirror trim tag
I think they are much more common that you think.
Here is a picture of 2 of them right off the top of my crate. These are both cadillac's, but I've seen them throughout the GM line http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/...191IMG2876.JPG I really see them all the time - I bet I have 30 of them. They read: THIS CAR FINISHED WITH MAGIC MIRROR ACRYLIC LACQUER Body By Fisher Maybe you guys are talking about something else? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif |
Re: Magic Mirror trim tag
The ACC tag was the standard trim tag for Chevy for several years.
68 Yenko and export Camaros used that tag because they did not meet the US specs on the standard 68 tag. I don't think that's a guess either. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif |
