Just posted about a big rear fender I got today from a guy whose uncle closed shop in 1942. Got a rust free Model A windshield with the Ford gl*** still there and a couple i need a bit of help with. Also a side window I can't ID. First 3 pics are windshield #1, then the side gl*** then windshield #2. Thanks in advance.
I was guessing the side window was pre 1939, when vent windows became commonplace. Might be Ford, might not.
Side window looks like Ford Cabriolet, the radius at the rear corner was typical of Ford Cabriolets from 1933 on but the length looks like it could be from a '33 or '34. Give measurements and maybe someone can nail it down. The windshield is not Ford, the upper radius at the corners and the arch to the top makes it look more Mopar to me. JMO
I think the side gl*** is '35-6 Ford Cabriolet. I found an article on Hot Rod mag installing power windows in a '36 cabriolet, but it wouldn't let me copy & paste the picture. Maybe somebody will come up with a measurement.
Thanks for all the information. Just measured the window and it is 35 3/4 inches across the bottom. Top to bottom in the middle is 14 1/2 inches. That pic of the 36 sure looks a lot like it. It really is in good shape except the gl*** is cloudy. If anyone needs it, get in touch.
