------Rick,,, When you say OEM I am guessing you mean "original equipment manufacturer", not OEM Inc. out of Bloomington IL. At least I hope this is the case. I talked with Dale at OEM a short time ago and he warned me that good repro glass would be coming to a halt in the future. I guess I didnt think his statements would appear to happen this quick. Problem as he described it is the intrusion of cheap, over-seas mis-made glass as you describe actually forcing the good manufacturers out of business. Making this old glass correctly for collector cars hasnt been a profit-making endeavor for the quality companies for a long time anyway, apparently. He told me then that a couple of manufacturers of quality vintage glass had already shut down production. I and probably you have seen the proliferation of really inexpensive glass sets available on E-bay and elsewhere. This is a very bad thing for all of us...........Bill S
