'63 inside mirrors- Noland vs. NCRS

[Steve G.]

OK, I'm confused... Noland Adams' book says there were four versions of inside rear view mirrors in '63 (actually 2: "guide" stamped and riveted with 3 variations and 1 non-riveted) and he indicates ALL had a date code. The NCRS guide (2nd ED)I have specifically says the earlier riveted version does NOT have a date code, but the non-riveted does. What is correct? I have a loose riveted version, with no date code, and a non-riveted on the car, with the wrong date code. Do I have the riveted one dated or install it as is?

With all due respect to Noland's fine book(s), the Judging Guides are updated fairly regularly as new info becomes available, I don't think his books have been updated since first printing some years ago.

Thanks, Bill. Have you (or anyone) heard about this particular detail? Has there been an update to this in the latest (3rd ED) NCRS manual?

I would suggest you contact the team leader for the '63 judging team, listed in the "Restorer" for that answer.
