1932 Ford 3Window VS 5Window Windsheild Frame

How do you tell a 3Window windsheild fram from a 5Window?

 

Three window is wider and the brackets come off. The 5W brackets are permanent. The 3w has curved sides and the top is curved. The 5W has a flat top.

 

The 3W frame will cost $5k and the 5W only $2k.. haha..

 

if you find a 5 window its worthless and you send it to me
if you find a 3 window....you sell it for big bucks

heres the front of a 5w...you can compare to what you found maybe?

 

Compare that 5w windshield in Zach's car to this 3w windshield in my car:

Thanks! Guess the 3Window frame has a center rather than side arms correct?

 

Kid.......no, the 3w frame also has side arms for locking when open.......mine is a gl*** car.......frame is gennie, but glued in.....

3W is like the 5W when it comes to the slides ...

 

Because the windshield brackets are not permanent on the 3W windshield frames, they are often missing on the frames that show up on egay. I understand that Spadaro and possibly other vendors stock repro brackets. I am wondering, however, if anyone stocks the threaded slider studs that attach to the 3W A pillars, and the slidiers slide on when the windshield is opened or closed. Anybody know?

 

got all mine from wescott....nice fit and well made over 100 bucks for it all

 

I love it. The difference between a 3w and a 5w frame; $3k.
