Just got this in my emails today so p***ing it along in case anybody has needs. https://vintagegl***.com/
I'll be needing all new side gl***. Was gonna go with Auto City but I noticed the free shipping with Vintage Gl***. Can you elaborate on your bad experience with Vintage?
I have not used them,just put it out there for you guys to check out over the years a lot of guys here used Auto City for gl*** and brakes and they have always been good after the sale if a problem came up. When I needed vent window gl*** and a side window I used a local company Bell Gl*** in Phoenix.
Auto City Cl***ic at least use to deliver to the large swap meets they were attending. That was particularly good for windshields, and how I got mine. It'll be interesting to see how the big swap meets go this year. Not sure if they do Goodguys.but check with them to see. I'll give another recommendation for Auto City Cl***ic, but have no experience with Vintage. As with Jeff, when I had decided on converting my rear side windows to fixed ala Business sedan, I could no longer use the rear side gl*** I had already bought, so I had mine made locally. The dark gray tinted gl*** had to be sent for tempering to Oklahoma.
Can you elaborate on your bad experience with Vintage? I purchased gl*** for my 55 from them t the NSRA nationals. They asked what I needed, I said all of it . He gave me a very attractive quote including free shipping so I purchased it there. When I recd the gl*** there was no windshield. I called and they said that I had not purchased the windshield. Since I had not specified a windshield, they quoted side gl*** only. So, their price was not a good one with no windshield. Now why he did not consider all the gl*** to include a windshield???? So I asked for a price on the windshield then called Auto City, their price was better so that is where I ordered it. A local friend told me that he had used Auto City for several cars and found their price and service to be very good. I found it to be the same. As far as Vintage, I think they intentionally didnt mention the windshield to make their price seem best.
Does anyone one know if the side gl*** at these places matches the original Ford Blue gl*** nicely? I also see a seller on eBay that had the flat gl*** Bob’s Cl***ic auto gl***. 2 doors hard top 280.00 plus tax and 45.00 shipping. Doors rear qtr and wind wings. I will also have to rechrome my frames by the time I get to them.
I've used gl*** from Auto City Cl***ics on several cars and they fit well and come well packaged for protection. For 50s Fords they have clear, original Ford green tint, and a grey tint. James
I have used Auto City Cl***ic gl*** for many of my cars and have always had a good experience with them. They have brought gl*** out to goodguys in Pleasanton and Sacramento swap meet to save me shipping cost. I will be placing order with them for my 57 chevy sport coupe I am building now.
Guys, keep in mind if the flat gl*** is not cut from laminate, it will need to be/should be tempered. Aside from the safety aspect, it's by law!!
