Windshield
Who reproduces the best dated windshield for a 66 vette?

Re: Windshield
Harry,
This issue has been addressed quite thoroughly in the archives (here and on the Corvette Forum). You may want to dig a bit for the gory details.
The general consensus seems to be that Pilkington produces the most accurate (dated, if desired) windshields. They acquired the rights to the old L-O-F patterns. PS Auto Glass in Janesville WI is one source. Another name that has been recommended in the archives is Auto City Classics in Isanti, MN. I'm not sure whether they use Pilkington as their source.
None of the reproductions, however, are exactly like the originals. The shading and shape of the band across the top of the glass is an issue. Some folks also feel that the overall tint on tinted glass is not exact as well.
Good luck!
Jeff
PS, I ordered a dated unit for my '66 from PS on a Tuesday. It was on my doorstep in PA that Friday. Great turnaround and good folks to deal with as well.
