[SCG] Keep those 1964 Body Tags coming!

Sat Aug 19 20:12:25 EDT 2006

No, Rich, that is really not odd at all.  There were three versions of 1964 
Body Tags.  The third version, beginning in the 3rd week of March, dropped 
the "Magic Mirror" script, making the 1964 body plate look like the later 
1965 plates in that regard.

This is detailed both on my webshots site and in the attached photo.

Hi Bill,

The July end date on the bodies was 7D from my understanding. I even have
'65 casting coded cylinders on my car, but they are '64 dimensions. My 500
coupe is a July car right at the end of it, so I will try and get a picture
to you soon.

By the way, i found an interesting anomoly yesterday while working on the
500. The body tag usually states something like "This car is finished with
Magic Mirror ....." It was a joint name/brand that DuPont and GM came up
with to describe their new lacquer finish. My July built 500 does NOT have
that anywhere on the tag. It is completely blank where that should be.

I am trying to check my sources here to determine if DuPont somehow lost
the business for a while to another competitor (i.e. PPG, Sherwin Williams)
for a while which caused the notation to dissappear on the tags.

A really odd point, huh?

Best Regards,

Rich

Thanks again to all who are submitting photos of 1964 Body Tags.  The
website now has 35 different tags, including 2 Canadian Corvairs.  I now
have at least one tag from each month of production EXCEPT May and July (05

and 07), but I am missing many of the weeks.
