    I have a chip in the driver half of my 49 hudson windshield I came across a later model in a old junkyard while looking for front inner fenders (I don't have any so if anyone knows of a pair please let me know) anyway what years interchange? Mine is a 49 and I'm guessing this was a 52 or so both 4 doors I noticed slight differences in the roof like mine has wing windows front and rear this had stationary rear quarter windows. The windshields looked the same but I don't know for sure. Thanks for any help

    I think 48 through 53 are the same except for 53 jet.
    they are available new through a lot of the glass vendors.

  3. What you will find is hardtop/convertible may be different but 48-53 all sedan/coupe will be the same. 54 one piece can probably go in if you remove the divider and use '54 rubber. Jet, of course, is an entirely different body.

    There are two wheelbases and the length is in the fenders but otherwise inner fenders should swap between them as well.

    Yea the inner fenders were toast unfortunately I'll prob go cut out the windshield just to have he will prob let it go for under 100 bucks and it looks to be in great shape. I probably won't even switch them unless my chip gets worse in mine though. Anybody repro the inner fenders?
