1967 Glass "E-Z-Eye Soft Ray" version of LOF

[Mitch S.]

Does anyone know the originality of this glass on a 67? I am looking at a coupe that has correct date coded glass from LOF but note that it is "E-Z-Eye Soft Ray" above the typical "Safety Tempered" logo on the LOF glass. I am thinking that it is a service replacement version but notice that 5 pieces of this glass are on the coupe (windshield had been replaced) without evidence of them ever being replaced physically and they all are within a month or so of each other and well before the 12 month cut off.

Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks, Mitch

There was a 67 like this at the North Central Regional this past weekend. All dates were correct, and it was deemed a variation of normal. We will see if anyone else chimes in on this type of glass marking.

Pat,

Are you talking about my green 67 at the regional this past weekend? I meant to chat with you as I see you on the forums quite a lot and wanted to met you.

Yes, I heard the judges reviewing that with you and then went and inspected the glass myself.

Mike, I was the judge this weekend and am trying to do more research on this E Z Eye trademark as not typically seen, as I mentioned, Mitch

I have reached out to Pilkington/LOF via their Classic Glass department as part of my research and this is what I was told by one of their salesman of Classic Glass (Randy) who had taken a day or two to do internal research himself on the subject before getting back to me:

" I was told that Soft-Ray is OE for GM from the factory and E-Z Eye is aftermarket".

This came from the research department at Pilkington Glass..............research continues...........

I know that not all of my glass is original. But of the pieces that likely are, the passenger side wing window is an "E-Z-EYE FLOAT" with "SOFT-RAY" directly beneath. The rest is SAFETY (LOF) FLO LITE, and below that, AS-2 GZ and beneath that, solid tempered followed by M74.
It's amazing at how distracted you can get on the discussion board. I originally was looking for information on 67
heater cores.
