Unfortunately we will need to replace all the glass on our vert. The quarter glass is pitted on both sides and the windshield is missing. The passenger’s side window doesn’t have a date code so suspect that was a replacement at some point in time. It also has pitting I think from PO sand blasting. The only good piece of glass is the driver’s side. Its date coded JX-10 which we believe is May 1968. That corresponds with the quarter glass of May of 68. Since we need 4 out of 5 new pieces, we won’t be reinstalling the driver’s side. It doesn’t have the Bird emblem. Can anyone tell us what this one piece is worth? Thanks!

I bought a new windshield from them this summer.

have to look for the card. I went to the swapmeet last april and the dude was selling glass. i was told that they can apply any date codes to the glass along with tinted and non tint glass. haven't bought them yet because of unexpected repaint on my car.

I looked up the place in Isanti.
It's called AutoCity.
Their number is 800.828.2212
I don't think anyone does the bird silkscreening, but I didn't ask.

Just spoke to a guy named Denney at Autocity who said his guy could do it but he'd need a sample window to take a photo that he would use to render the stencil.
I had a friend years ago who did silkscreening and saw him do stuff like this also.
Wouldn't it be great to have someone repro this for us?

Brett in Federal Way(Seattle) has the set up I think....he/we had years ago talked about doing a stick on decal of that to use for whomever wanted...try him at brettnheather@hotmail.com he may have the artwork needed.....also, maybe mention that the decal idea may still be viable... I dont need it, 1) its a 69, 2) when I drive it , top and windows are down, so wont be seen....if windows are up, means its raining ,wont be seen anyway...lol
