Can anyone help me out with a code on the 1967 firebird build tag I have a code that is W-2L* can anyone tell me what this means? The car was the special color o-o produced in I think the autumn of that year. Thank you
1st Group (digit not shown)(W) W .... Soft-ray Tinted Glass (Windshield Only) 2nd Group(2L) L .... 4-spd Manual Transmission Floor Shift
Color is Coronado Gold which should be a spring color only. The complete data off the tag would help.

I have been doing some research on this glass...as far as plant codes, dates..thicknesses...etc.
For those of you who have Bird glass, please post the following.
Date of your build found on cowl tag.
Found on the glass is etching denoting origin/plant of manufacture, date, thickness. Will be found etched on side.
Also include front, back quarter window supplier/manufacturer information. Include if you have clear or tinted, or tinted windshield only. This information can be found on the PHS if you have it.

This topic has come up on facebook first generation firebirds https://www.facebook.com/groups/161277239570/user/100024674076842 and I am wondering if there was any more info on the subject other than what you found to this date of your post. I wondered many years ago why my early 68 11A did not have the bird glass and what I found out is similar to your conclusion is that they did not start to install the Bird glass until second to third week of Nov 67 Thanks in advance Chris.H.
