Default Original glass 57 Corvette , clear or tinted ?

I'm looking to buy all new glass from Corvette Central complete with all stainless trims included and they show pictures in their catalog . The green tint in the picture looks a little dark . My question is " Did they even use tint in 57 ? What was more common ? I would be looking for something very light in tinted glass .

I think that I will go with the clear to keep open the option of buying a hardtop for it since the hardtops only have clear windows .
