What date is your car? There are early and late covers. Bob Manells sbf book gives a change over at approx nov 15 67.

My car had the early ones, with the side mounted wire supports, the later ones went back to the top mounted similar to 67 style, but with the powered by for script of the later covers.
San Jose built (Mid Dec 67) Non GT J code Coupe.
Wimbledon White with Parchment Bench seat,
Visibility Group, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Selectaire Conditioner, AM radio, Heavy Duty suspension, Deluxe Belts, Deluxe Wheel Covers, 3.00:1 rear.

Unique 1 of 1 car. Just like every other car...
