Pelkington is garbage! Friend installed it in a '67 Camaro and the door window curve is not even close........junk.

Some guy in Chicago, Paul's Auto Glass is suppose to be good.

I purchased mine for my Chevelle (clear glass) from PS Auto Glass. They dated it for me also.

I have had very good luck with PS Auto Glass. Quick turnaround even when dating. The spotiness in the glass will be in everyones as far as I know due to the federally mandated process when the glass is produced.

I just put OEM dated glass in my 1970 Camaro and it looks great.
The shop had no complaints about the fit and the trim looks fine. I had to pay up for it, but I'm glad I did.

Is OEM the brand name of a Reproduction Glass Co? If so do you have a number? Or is this a reference to PPG/LOF?

OEM is the name of a restoration glass supplier here in Illinois. You can Google them. I'm sure the tinted dated glass I bought for my Chevelle was Pilkington which is as good as it gets for replacement glass. If you buy new replacement tinted glass you will see spots. I found it very helpful to view my car WITHOUT sun glasses.

I've used Auto City Classics dated glass on 2 cars, and haven't has any problems. I believe that they are less expensive than the others. They do not use Pilkington. Also, you can order the glass and pick up at Carlisle to save shipping. (763) 444-5880
