If they just wanted to omit the Fed Safety Statement , they could have just used a 1967 cowl tag. For some reason they dug out the 1965 "magic mirror" tag.
Hard to tell why they used the old "magic mirror" tag but it was good for COPO and Special Orders because of the large "ACC" field where you can put a lot of info if needed.
Some interesting info has been found a COPO Impala Biscayne cars for Police Fire Military FBI use.
Some Police cars were found with a Body Broadcast Copy with COPO special order codes.
Some had the same info stamped on the trim tag along with a sequence number from the Body Broadcast Copy.
The full size Passenger Assembly plants had a lot of experience with COPO, F&SO and Special Orders so knew how to handle them.
