Starliner windshield

[Royce]

My 61 needs a windshield  They are available but they all have that dark shading band on the top  I HATE the looks of that on a 60s car.. Anyone know a supplier that would have a clear one

In 2012 I replaced the windshield in my '62 Galaxie wagon and it was really difficult to find a supplier.  Evan and Kathy Wolfe of Vintage Auto Glass in Billings Montana sold me the new clear one.  Their website doesn't come up any longer, but I bet some google'ing and a few phone calls could track down the status of that business now.

Royce:  Regarding your 61 starliner did you try auto city classics in Minnesota

[Royce]

Yes  I did try Auto City  They have them but only with the wretched shading band. Unable or unwilling to special order one without it..

This place shows a clear option for $535 plus $390 shipping to a commercial address.  For an additional $390 you can get a NOS one (clear).

Haven't used them; just passing it on.  Page says they are in GA.

Hey  thanks for that tip   I guess if you want something hard to find you have to pay.  that is 3x what auto city wants for that shaded thing

I appreciate it

Royce, you might try figuring out how the shaded area is applied to the new windshield.
If it is cast into the laminate you are stuck with it, but if the shading is layered on the glass, either inside or outside, you may be able to buff the color off before installing the glass.
