When the  a/c option was introduced in '61, full tinted glass was a
"mandatory  option". Later on (I don't know when) that mandate was lifted,
and later  cars could and did come thru without tinted side glass, and even
a clear  windshield. My '67 convert is one of those which didn't have a
single pane  of tinted glass in it, yet had factory air.

The most common explanation (though not for your car, Mark) was a  dealer 
installation of A/C on a car that wasn't already equipped. It might  easily 
have had non-tinted glass from the factory.
 
 
Speaking of A/C cars - Is there a drive pulley available (for  use with an 
aftermarket compressor) which mounts up tight against the factory  balancer? 
I can locate the compressor wherever I want, but the drive  pulley on the 
car was so tall it almost touched the engine mount,  effectively capturing 
the fan belt, making it impossible to change the  belt. Any sources?
