    I found this windshield in a garage in PA along with 2 convertible tops neither of which fit this windshield. The 80 year old man I got it from said it was on an old hotrod he had back in the day. Unfortunately he couldnt remember what vehicle it was. If anyone knows what this belongs to please let me know.

    From the picture, it could fit anything from a pedal car to a Duesenberg.
    Maybe you could measure it?
    It looks like something off an English car.

    Its probably the rear windshield from a dual cowl pheaton.

    To me it looks like the back side to a 34 Ford closed p***emger car. See the holes at the bottom center? That's where the crank-out mechanism would attach.

    Does the other side have a flange that is wider that the part shown on this side? Take a pic and post it.

    It measures 42 3/4 long and 12 1/2 high. It would be fixed because of the two brackets on the sides. There are two holes in the centeron one side but dont go through to the other side.

    It looks like a closed car windshield frame, wrapped with add-on band steel so it could be adapted to some different body.

    It does not have the correct shape to be a real convertible/roadster windshield.


    How about some pics of the convertible tops?

    The tops were a model A top and a 36 ford roadster top
