    Not a mid 50's GM. They come around farther, rounded lower corner.

    56 Lincoln Continental.jpg One possibility that comes to mind (there may be MANY more).....'56 Lincoln Continentals had a similar shaped glass, square corners and all, and were relatively tall too.

    Looks tall - square corners remind me of '50s - '70s IHC cabs.

    They said there were no markings on it. Kinda a shame. Story goes that they thought it might be 55 or 56 Olds cuz their dad had one once. I'm looking for a '56 Olds windshield but I'm in Canada where the odds of a glass find are slimmer. Free for the taking. Was hoping to help identify it. Thanks all.

    Looks laminated - backlights were tempered if curved.

    ^^^^^^^^^ I think it is safe to say that does not fit anything on that list of previously owned vehicles.

    As already stated, it is very likely International. For what it is worth, if so, the windshield should fit from 1957 through 1968 from the Pickup/Travelall all the way up through the conventional cab Loadstars. With that wide of coverage there should be a market.
    There is one currently on the big auction site, you might contact the seller to see if they will give you some dimensions:
