Mirror & Glass codes...

Removing side-view mirror


Mount plate is an original part #: 5946478 w/correct philips screws.
Note: base should use a black sealing pad (not tan).

Back of mirror should be stamped "GUIDE Y-50 MADE IN U.S.A."

No stampings on the back

As mentioned in a prior post, there should be no date code or manufacturer stampings.
This DMI stamping/date code is typical of C2 mirror glass.

Pass.-side door glass.  Code: NT = January, 1957

Driver-side door glass.  Code: JT = May, 1957

Pass.-side acrylic Plexiglas hardtop window. Looks like "5-7" (May '57)


Driver-side acrylic Plexiglas hardtop window. Looks like "6-7" (June '57)


Hardtop acrylic plastic (Plexiglas) rear window. 
Can't make out date code 1-something.  Most likely a "1-7" for Jan. 57
