Optional Tinted Glass

[blizzy63]

I've been enjoying and appreciating Round2's addition of tinted window glass in various AMT re-issues over the last few years, especially in the gasser optioned kits.

While building the AMT '56 Ford Victoria kit recently, I'd wished Round2 would provide an optional blue-green tinted glass to simulate the old 'I-Rest' window glass option from Ford begining in the '50s ('E-Z Eye' for General Motors).

The most recent AMT '57 Chevy "Pepper Shaker" kit (AMT-1360) suppied regular clear glass and optional pale blue glass which best simulated an E-Z Eye glass option. I hope that this is a trend.

I suggest that blue-green glass should be including in other appropriate subjects, like the '56 Ford Victoria kit (especially with its Crown Victoria Skyliner "skyview" plexi roof glass).

How 'bout all Coca-Cola issues come with 'Coke-bottle green' window glass...?

Yes. E-Z Eye was GM. Still made by LOF.

Della appears to be in a ‘58 Pontiac.

I always slightly tint my auto glass, by dipping them in clear floor polish slightly tinted with green and blue food color.  You can see it about 3/4 of the way down on this page: 

And also about 1/3 of the way down the page on this thread:

Thanks.

Floor polish + food coloring: I wondered if that worked…

My question is, does it work and is it stable, that is, does it fade over time?

Yes, in some seasons Perry Mason drove GM vehicles (Caddys).
