this has been discussed years ago but not a lot of info was found. Maybe more 68s with "magic mirror" tags have come into the CRG data base since then?
I don't believe the "magic mirror" tag was used to eliminate the safety statement. I believe the "magic mirror" tag was used to add the "ACC. " field that can show the special order code if needed. This was accomplished by using the older tag blank. Some 68 Camaros were found with "magic mirror" tags that were not export and not Yenkos. One car has a separate tag on it with just the safety statement on it. here is a pic of it |

It would make perfect sense that a second tag for the legal requirement should have been installed when the magic mirror tag was used. I don't recall ever seeing one like that. Thanks for the info Joe!

Joe - Do you have a picture of the TT that goes with this tag?

That car is an export car.
http://www.camaros.org/foreign.shtml#SUP They used the older trim tag because the legal info was not on it. No 68 tag had extra data on it to use the extra room on the ACC tag.

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. Last edited by JoeC; 03-02-2021 at 01:14 PM. |

here is another interesting tag found on a 1969 Chevy Tow Truck.
They put the Fed Safety Statement with a disclaimer that it does not apply to modifications |
