    The windshield is the same for all 59-60 GM sedan bodys. I think the rear glass is the same between 2-4door sedan but I suggest measuring it to be certain.

    Thank you. I appreciate the information.
     
  4. To expand a bit, 59-60 GM sedan, station wagon and El Camiono use the same windshield. Convertibles and hardtops use the same and is basically a shorter version of the sedan windshield.

    I believe the sedan (not hardtop) rear windows are all the same, but as advised measure first.

    The windshields and rear windows from a 59 and 60 Chevy sedan, either 2 door or 4 door, will interchange. I used a windshield and rear window out of a 1960 Biscayne 4 door sedan in my 1959 BelAir 2 door sedan.

    As mentioned, the hardtops are different from the sedans.
