I hope this information saves someone a lot of time. After much searching, and calling people at Pilkingtons, I have concluded that a search for an American-made repro windshield for the 66/earlier is futile. From what I have gathered, and assuming these vendors know what they are talking about, vintage car windows are all coming out of China or Mexico.
I just picked up a windshield for my 64 wagon. It was at the Louisville Swap meet in October, and I could inspect the product. It is as thick as the original, rear windshield of another A body I had. It does not have any waviness to the glass. The tint is not too dark. I have not tried to install it yet.
I had hoped for a clear windshield, but found none as repros, and only this one:
Good Morning Chris,
Re: 1964-66 Dodge Dart..All Models.
Note: When we reproduce all windshields, the demand for clear windshields is almost nil.
We reproduce what the majority demands and is eiter green tint or tint/shaded.
We can offer you the following:
New reproduction: Standard green tint W/Dark band across the top (Tint/Shaded) $299.00 + Frt
NOS Clear W/PPg Logo $468.00
Note: There is a 1/2" Slight separation at the bottom ,which will br covered by the gasket
We have one in stock
PM me if you want the contact information for the above, or for the vendor that I finally got one from.
