Hi everyone. I have been lurking here for quite some time but never had much of a reason to post. I just snagged a rear window from a barn and wonder what it is from. I honestly couldn't even venture a guess beyond a late forties early fifties shoebox? I am thinking about making some type of shadow box hot rod art type of thing to hang in the garage out of it. Thoughts?
Dimensions and whether it is flat or curved would help to ID it. At first glance it looks like 41-48 Ford P***enger car.
That's gotta be a 41 to 48 Ford. I'd bet there is an etched bug with Fomoco on it and a date somewhere in that range.
It's definitely curved. I'll get dimensions this evening and post them. I never considered VW, but I pulled it from a barn cleanout where there was a bunch of other late 40's type items. This place was stacked up with **** like you wouldn't believe and it was in chronological order. In other words the deeper you went the older the schtuff was. I also got a very nice pair of 30's era fender mount headlights that I have been hanging on too because sooner or later I will be building that rod I always wanted! I must have pulled about 40 hubcaps out of there from 40's through 60's era cars.
Here are two other itmes I pulled out of there. The brake mounting plate is a Mopar. I believe it to be correct for a 63'ish. It's NOS. No idea what the stainless lower quarter is from.
That window looks like the one I just installed in a 1946 Internatinal KB1, but its hard to say without diminsions.
O.K. The window at its widest point is 34 inches. At its highest point is 13.5. There are no marking on the gl*** at all. I also attached a picture of the head lamps I pulled from the same barn.
