64 Vent Window - Carlite Window Text
« on: August 30, 2022, 11:16:29 PM »
I was looking at the replacement vent window I received from a friend and I noticed a few oddities. It's dated 4C which I surmise to be 64 since it has other text that is different than later windows.

The window is marked with the text "TEMPERED-B" rather than the 65-67 "TEMPERED."
I also noticed that the "FM-M60" is missing from the bottom.

No issue for me as I will simply grind and buff them out and apply my own etching for my 67.
But interesting, none the less.

Because you brought the subject up I took a quick scan of the date I have and found that the change took place, need to look at more, sometime between April/May and Sept 1964 Dec so far from the records and examples I have

You can also find the Temp-R-PlatE logo/marking also. Have found those with Sept and Nov 1964 dates out of Dearborn

Some of the online write-ups on Carlite window details simplify or ignore the variations.

It appears  the side windows tend to use the same script. But the front and rear windows are different.
The Temp-R-PlatE I've seen are usually on back windows.

Suffice to say I don't have near the data you have ... Just a few examples.
