I was wondering what the Y73 gt hood stripe option looked like on a standard 442 with out w-25 Hood? Also what was the mirror magic finish option?

 

WOW no answer???????????

 

Not 100% sure on non-W25 hood stripe as I have very little 1970 sales/spec info- it could have been outline double pinstripes on the hood bulges or a wider stripe running from the headknocker back down between the bulges.

MagicMirror was simply GM's trade name for their acrylic lacquer paint finishes. The term showed up in mid-60s; from 59-62 the data plate called it Miralite. Truth be known it was nothing more than whatever acrylic lacquer the paint supplier sent them. Could have been PPG, could have been Rinshed-Mason, could have been DuPont depending on model year and/or assembly plant.

 

I searched google Y73 442 and found this:

very nice thanks a million. I have the carbon copy of the original option order sheet and it has written on it leave hood stripes off. The original owner said the car didn't come with them.
