Customs 53 lincoln windshield exchange

Anybody know if windshields of other fords will fit a 53 lincoln? i am also wonder if i can get a rear window out of safety glass? i plan to chop that thing , but not before i know if i can get a other windshield/rearwindow in case i mess my one up.

 

I have a 53 Lincoln sedan rear glass but I,m in Northern Ontario.

 

I dont think it will swap out. The Lincoln and the Merc( I think) used the same glass. I did send you a pm though with some info.

 

I have been wondering about the same thing myself!

I really like driving my 55 EVERYDAY, but the unavailability of front and rear glass kind of bugs me....

I was hopeing that Merc glass is available and it would fit...

 

39 All Ford..It is available. I will have to post the guys name and number when I get home. He can get brand new ones and can cut them really cheap.

 

I have a 51,53 and 55 Merc sedan back glass as well as the 53 lincoln sedan back glass.52 Ford sedan also.Too bad I,m so far north though....

 

That is way cool, takes a lot of pressure of me when I drive the 55..

Thanks !

I I looked at the website of Alliance Vendor Bob's Classic Auto Glass, and noticed that there is lots of mid 50s Ford and Merc glass listed, but none of the stuff listed for Ford or Merc is ALSO listed for Lincoln... so once again I am a little concerned that my Lincon is relegated to a dwindling supply of used glass...

I think it was stated that Merc glass will work in a Lincoln, but I am not sure.

Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks again...

 

52-54 Ford and Merc cross. 52-55 lincolns are alone with three different windshields for sedans and hardtops, I check tomorrow on which ones are available.

 

cool ,thanks a lot

 

Ouch...

In 1955 there were about 22,000 Lincolns made, about half of these were Capris... So I don't suppose the chance of repop front and rear glass is so good...

 

all 52- 55 lincoln 2 doors and conv. take a NAGS part number DW247 windshields
four doors use DW246

52's had 3 piece back glass, 53-55 shared a one piece back glass

 

I have chopped the top on my 55 and there is no interchange in winshields.Old glass is hard to cut because it gets real brittle,I ended upbuying a brand new one that i ordered from a guy in Cali and it actually had come from Mexico.Lucky the original one worked when it was cut so yes i have abrand new one just in case up in my attic.I have about 600bux in this thing by the time i got it home.checkout my avatar that is my lincoln just about done and ready to hit the happy trail
