Magic Mirror Finish
Did all 68 Copo's have an extra line on the trim tags stating magic mirror finish?

If I am not mistaken the 9737 Sports car conversions were tagged with the MM tag (were referred to in the past as a MM or non compliance TT), however the 68 Gibb Nova's were also ordered through the Central Office as were many non performance units thus they would also carry a COPO designation, as I understand it these cars did not necessarily receive the MM tag.

The 1968 Yenko's COPO 9737 Camaros got the "Magic Mirror" tag which at the time was said to be an export tag since it was also found on some export Camaros.
( It has also been found on 2 other non export 1968 Camaros) I believe the "Magic Mirror" tag was used to as a "special order tag". When I was researching the 68s, I found the "Magic Mirror" tag was an older tag that was used as late as 1966 on early Fremont Chevelles and used on other cars about 1963 to 1966. I believe it was used on special order 1968 Camaros because the "Magic Mirror" tag has a "ACC" accessory code line which can show the special order codes if needed. Chevy wanted to show special orders on the trim tags on many cars and trucks. I also research all GM cars and trucks that I think were special orders and have seen some tags with markings such as a dash, a dash and a number, a number, the letters COPO, MEMO, AVO, SHOW, and others, and some cars that used the 8 digit Dupont paint code in the normal paint code field |
