Two comments about the car.

I wonder why he chose to show it as an original with the 66 covers on the car and the 67 covers in the trunk?

This car proves what I've argued for years. People always say that all tinted windows in the 60's era cars was standard if you ordered a/c. This one clearly states otherwise.

At a salvage auction in about 1976 I bought a 67 Parisienne 4 door hardtop 283 with factory air. Clear glass in it. I'm sure the factory air hadn't been added to the car afterwards, and I'm sure nobody removed all tinted glass and put clear in it.

No, it was optional, crazy as it seems. I've seen the odd one in wrecking yards too. I am betting there were quite a few that were dealer order mishaps.

Kind of like the "almost" loaded extended cab we ordered for stock at our dealership a number of years ago. Loaded, except a/c! That truck sat on the lot forever until it finally sold north of Thompson Manitoba...

Some police departments used to stipulate that their patrol cars have a tinted windshield, and also that the other windows not be tinted.

 

That car is a real beauty. The standard engine with the Hydramatic should be by default a high compression 400 with a mild cam & 2-barrel carb. The 1966 wheel covers with spinners definitely look flashier.

My '72 from Alabama has A/C and clear glass.
