[FWDLK] Fw: 57-59 Windshield Tint/Shade band

Comments below from collector car glass dealer Vic Phillips. 

 

I only wish to add that from brand to brand (LOF, PPG, Chrysler, etc.) there were many shades of blues and greens as well, then complicated by the fade factor starting on day one out of the dealership, then complicated again by the individual eyes of the viewer.  I know my own eyes don't necessarily always give the same answer on a blue-green car that others around me have.

 Back in the early 50s they changed from green to blue. Said the green hurt the eyes I was told. In the mid 50s you could get either green or blue. The green and bronze they are doing today are mostly on foreign windshields. All the original windshields I have had in the past for 50s thru 60s have all been blue shade. Thanks, Vic
