Re: [Chrysler300] South American windshields

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Keith -

I hadn't heard that the Fins were making windshields for our cars. Are they 
from Sweden instead ? Also, does Michael have an asking price, and are they 
Solex or Solex/Shaded ? Does he have W453s as well ?

I was thinking that this would be an awesome project for the club to take 
on, now that PPG is out of the loop.

Ron
