RE: [Chrysler300] South American windshields

[christopher beilby <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Australia had a glass company that made screens for years - about 2 years ago they got a new Accountant in, and he said there was a few dollars worth in the stainless of windscreen moulds that were not big sellers, so he said take them round to scrap dealer.

 

He made them scrap about 1000 moulds - including seemingly world's only 60s-70s Lamborghini
screens, untold Pontiac/Chev/etc US screen moulds such as in big volume sales '67 GTOs etc.

 

A screen for my Lamborghini Espade went from $325 - to UNOBTAINIUM - such that one s/hand one has been on ebay for over four figure USD 'buy it now' price. They may have even had '57 Chrysler hardtop moulds.

 

Near every day, major windscreen supplier here, ordering screen, finds it no longer available - WONDER HOW THE DUMB ACCOUNTANT IS GOING NOW - BET HE STILL HAS HIS JOB THOUGH. Restoring cars is hard enough, without these 'mental midgets' that always seem to make things harder for us.

 

Christopher Australia - our 10-15 year drought well broken, but massive near third of nation locust plague tipped to eat ripening near record winter grain crops as they hatch with imminent warmer spring weather, record egg counts found everywhere and massive aerial spraying planned

Keith -

PPG is reproducing the W451 (300C HT) and W453 (300C conv, 300D,E 2dr HT and 
conv) windshields. You can order them thru any glass place that handles PPG. 
To contact them directly, call 877-855-8100.

I'd avoid the South American glass. Supposed to be thinner than original.
