[DeTomaso] Windshields and door glass

[CharlesMcCall]

I can confirm that my 1985 car wears Saint Gobain glass, as Mike states.

>>>The '80s cars came with Saint-Gobain glass.   The company is now 
Saint-Gobain/Sekurit, so they must have merged with the Sicursiv company at
some 
point?   A trademark search shows that the Sicursiv brand died in 1976.
The 
1970s Panteras were originally equipped with Sicursiv glass.   Here's the 
scoop on Saint-Gobain today:

I think your windshield with the De Tomaso logo is a repro by Wilkinson.   
Very high quality, from what I'm told, made by Pilkington?
