[SCG] Keep those 1964 Body Tags coming!

Hello?  I already posted my 03C tag from the John Glen car a week or two 
ago, remember?  It is on the website, and it most definitely is the third 
style (no "Magic Mirror")

And the address for the SCG list is scg-list at tiger.skiblack.com  Please post 
to this list when you want it to go to the entire group.

Some of you are using scg-list-bounces at tiger.skiblack.com - please do NOT 
use that address as it simply bounces and sends me an error message.

Bill

Hi,
That's my impression, Kent. We know that the THIRD design 64 body plate
(65 design without the "Magic Mirror") started with 3D for sure and
possibly 3C. If anyone has a 3C it would confirm which style was used
that week (3B is the second design 64 plate).

After '63, GM stopped using Magic Mirror in their ad copy. Probably a
marketing decision, but I hope Rich can find out a specific reason why
the term was dropped.

Somehow your email dropped the SCG on the cc list. I don't have the
address in my address book yet or I'd add it.
