Best source for glass

I am replacing all my glass in my 1969 442. The windshield is discoloring, the back glass has deep scratches from body man removing trim and the side glass has scratches as well. What are the C/O sources for glass replacement? Does anyone sell an entire set? Thanks in advance!

Check Auto City Classics. They have new glass and for some vehicles kits. I'm not 100% they carry 1968 69 glass but ask them.

I have used two sources for glass. For my ‘70 442 Convert, a September 1969 build at the Linden, NJ plant, in that period and plant GM used PPG glass. Could not find anyone to replicate the OEM windshield glass PPG logo and date coding. Finally found ECS Automotive, which is best known for their high point Mopar work. They were able to replicate it perfectly and at a reasonable price. Pics attached. Highly recommended.

Another non-Olds GM project, a ‘79 Trans Am Y84 4-speed car, which has LOF glass. I worked with Auto City Classics, who did logo and date coding to all the new glass. Excellent detail and also at a reasonable price. Pics attached and highly recommended.

Thus, depends on what type of restoration you are doing. For regular non-date coded, non-logo glass, I would recommend Auto City.

AMD's glass is good for driver quality stuff. I'm happy with it.
