Default RE: big disapointment...

In 1970, Chrysler had three different tints on the windshield for all their models: The green windshield was mostly put in the Airtemp equipped models. The blue windshield was for non-air conditioned models and have a 2" strip of tint across the top, while the airtemp models had a wider tint across the top. The last windshield is not as common, and it is clear. The untinted glass was reserved for press, TV, and ad cars (look at some of the ads, and the cars that weren't the pilot cars that went to the crusher after the photo shoot have the totally clear glass). Next time you are watching Nick at Nite, watch the Beverly Hillbillies or the Brady Bunch from the '70-'71 seasons. The Fury and the Barracuda rag that was in the later episodes of the '71 season had the untinted glass when the car had a windshield in it...
Just a random bit of trivia
