Seafoam65 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I recommend Auto City Classic.....I've bought lots of glass from them over the years and have always been very pleased 'with their glass........their price on a first gen windshield is 329.00........and for an extra charge I think you can have the correct logo and date code put on it......they did that for me on my 70 Chevelle SS......I changed out all the glass with their glass.... perfect fit, correct tint and logos and date codes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65VerdeGS Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hi Steve, In 2019 I bought a replacement tinted and shaded windshield for my '65 Riviera from Summit Racing for the stupidly low price of $130 including delivery to Canada. The windshield was from Pilkington, and it came with the LOF logo on the driver's lower side. It was a perfect fit. I checked the Summit website and this item is currently showing as "Unavailable". I found this entry on the Summit website which indicates you can special order Pilkington windshields and side glass too. See here: https://www.summitracing.com/search/brand/pilkington-classics/part-type/windows-individual Or, call Summit and ask if they can order a windshield for you. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixxer Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Called Safelite and they asked if it was tinted or clear. Tinted was a few extra days wait. Price of glass was around $450 with tax - no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did as well, 4th one wasn't broken in shipping. They offered a refund, I said no I wanted the windshield. I believe they pulled them after I finally got a good one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those broken shipments were a loss to the retailer and/or insurance. But it contributes to the stats to Pilkington that 1st Gen windshields are in demand. Broken windshields are a fact of life out here in the wild west. Insurance companies give us an option to exclude windshields from glass coverage in comprehensive endorsements, passing the savings to policy holders. In fact, DOW Corning offers "Gorilla Glass" for 3 applications and sub-applications (Antenna & collision sensors). They are for the current F150 and 2 Jeep Wranglers - the JK and the current JL. Some detail shops offer an application which consists of a protective layer which is similar to Gorilla Glass. However, the latter has a special layer in-between as well. Also, distribution in Canada is only through the dealer which is 5X the price compared to a glass shop, a no-go for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XframeFX Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 My '63 has a clear windshield. I consume about 5 windshields on my daily drivers before changing vehicles. Common to suffer a crack on the way home from the glass shop! I'm hoping my '63 has a tough windshield as in my '68 Cdn Pontiac Parisienne, That car survived rocks hurtling from the opposite direction. It never needed to be replaced. Back in those days, there were less highways and more 2-way roads. The latter with combined velocity would cause a crack for sure. But not that Pontiac! Fast forward to today. It seems a grain of sand from the vehicle ahead on a multi-lane highway causes fractured windshields. Go Figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
