    Jim B., et al., I am not an authority, and you guys are; however, I have a few reasons to think this to be true. Not proven, just my belief.

    - My car was made in July '67 before they closed for summer or stopped producing the '67 cars (VIN -002)
    - While the car is not original paint, etc... all the scratched glass and much of the trim which is tatty is still there and appears original.
    - The rear view mirror in the car is beaten to hell, but is a '67 mirror, and the visors appear to be also '67 in similar condition.

    I came close to buying '68 visors as my passenger visor has a hole as you may be able to see, only to discover "wait mine are different." I can't find the thread, but someone here with an early 68S had the same rear view mirror, and visors.

    Thanks,

    Scott

    Don Ahearn (and others) has noted some very early 68S cars with the 67S rocker trim in the past. I believe also the window winders in some of the earliest 68's were the 67 variety, as well as the rear view mirror as noted.
    The Aus Del 68s I have has the above.

    All,
    Having started this thread I apologise for responding late.

    My car is a US 1968 model and definitely has white/black sunvisors with white pivots at each corner.

    Ideally I'm looking for a new set of sunvisors as my pivots are cracked.

    I have a set with black pivots from a Karmann coupe. Driver side has a fracture on the seam. In the right hands could be nicely concealed. The passenger side with mirror is virtually perfect!?......
