1978 Regular Production with Glass Tops
I'm curious if any of our forum members with a 1978 (Pace Cars not eligible here) have the CC1 glass tops and the documentation that show the car came equipped that way?
Documentation would include window sticker, build sheet or tank sticker.

When I bought my 78 SA 4 yrs ago, it came with a very old set of LOF Mirrored Glass Tops, which I'm sure are original. Sorry, but no documentation here.

Just my .02 Other than the Pace cars, I don't think alot of 78 vettes came with the glass t's. Most of the cars were low option L-48 cars.

I thought the glass tops were only available on Pace's for '78; starting in '79, I thought it became an option. I know the Paces were released late in the season with the final builds around June, and it was the first to have the glass tops.

How do the date codes line up with those of the other glass? Under the words Flo-Lite will be a two letter code. What is it for each piece of glass?

RPO CC1 was available in 78, only 972 vettes were produced with glass T-tops. Very rare option. :cheers:
