Q:

Etched window glass

I have a 68 Firebird that has the firebird emblems etched in the glass. My bird has power windows and also the "Custom" interior. Is there any connection to these options? how are is this??

A:

Regarding the 'Bird' etching found on some '68 Firebird's... The process used to produce the 'Bird' Logo on the front side glass was referred to as 'Etching'. To Etch does not necessarily mean to 'sandblast' an image into the glass; this can be accomplished in the same way as the supplier/date code info is 'etched' onto the glass. This was not simply painted on.

As far as verifying the reason's behind why some received this special glass and other's did not; the following is NOT true...

* Used on all Firebird's built before 5-1-68
* Used only on Air Conditioned and/or Power Window cars
* Used only on Early Production cars
* Used only on Tinted-Glass cars

From the Registry-Survey I have been conducting over the past 8yrs, I have found ORIGINAL '68 Firebird's w/the 'Etched' Bird and also with or without the above features...in other words; mystery not solved. The only thing I have found is that all cars in the Registry w/the special glass are "400" cars.... all built between Nov.'67 and Jul.'68 including Lordstown and Van Nuys cars. Still need more info to be able to establish a consistent trend here
