To celebrate the alliance, Magic Glass and Visteon are teaming up on Thursday,
August 5, 2004 to support the Dodge "Racers On The Circle" event, which
precedes the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series(TM) Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway on August 8, 2004. Visteon is entering the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series
by sponsoring the Evernham Motorsports No. 91 Visteon Dodge driven by Bill
Elliott at the Brickyard 400. During the "Racers On The Circle" event, Bill
Elliot will sign autographs. Magic Glass and Visteon will display the Evernham
Motorsports Special Edition Dodge Hemi with the NASCAR Performance Windshield
by Visteon, provided by Elk Automotive.
The Visteon GlassVantage network is comprised of auto glass replacement
professionals that offer Visteon custom auto glass products in an assigned
geographic territory. In addition to the new NASCAR Performance Windshields by
Visteon for cars and light trucks, network members also carry the new
GlideMaster(TM) Gliding Rear Window for light trucks, and Carlite(R) brand
original equipment replacement auto glass.
NASCAR Performance Windshields by Visteon are original equipment quality, and
feature a checkered flag motif across the top with the NASCAR brand logo in the
center. Unlike decals that fade and fall off, the sporty looking design is a
permanently bonded part of the windshield.
The GlideMaster Gliding Rear Window for light trucks offers a sleek, smooth
expanse of frameless, flush-mounted tinted glass in place of the awkward look
of typical sliders. The semi-flush gliding center panel can be customized with
available team or sport logos.
"GlassVantage network members like Magic Glass, are selected based on their
ability to sell and market innovative auto glass products to the public," said
Roy Drake, business director, Visteon Aftermarket Replacement Glass. "By
taking what is already a very good Visteon glass product, and adding the NASCAR
design and licensing, we're creating a unique opportunity for people to
customize their car or truck."
According to Bob Smith, co-owner of Magic Glass, "We view this agreement with
Visteon as an opportunity to offer our customers and everyone who loves NASCAR
racing a very special auto glass product not found anywhere else -- and we plan
to have a lot of fun with it. The GlideMaster product also is unique and we
expect to sell a lot of them to pickup truck owners."
