Dear John and mid-60s Buick "historians"

Wondering what the glass markings should be or look like on an original windshield .


If the markings for a 1965 Buick Special are the same for a GS (and my wagon is a Fremont car) then they should look like this:

This photo was taken before I replaced the windshield.

I bought a new windshield from Pilkington classics:

I also got a tailgate class from Pilkington.  I don't have a picture of what the new windshield looks like, but I could take one tomorrow if you are curious.

Cheers, Edouard

I will probably just reuse it if it comes out without cracking it .

John,

You can get a new, dated, LOF windshield from Auto City for less than $200.
Worth every cent.
