[SCG] 1963 Corvair Fisher Body tag ACC codes

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

Hi Kent,
Thanks for working on this.  I have 3 63's around.  The thing 
is though they are all fairly standard monzas.  Only unusual thing is my 
63 Convertible which is just about as stripped down as one could find. 
Only option it has is radio and as I found out from the information you 
posted, tinted windshield.

Another Vert I have has 2CD on the plate.  So Power top and padded dash, 
but what does the 2 mean?

I will take a look at some of the 63's in the Club "lot" soon.
