1952-59 Ford Glass for a 55??

I have a 55 Customline, that needs front gl***. The shop only has a 55 Fairlane listed.. This is the same gl*** right? I just wanna be sure before I place the order. Thanks very much for the help!

Interested to know to. I have a 56 customline that needs front winshield....lemme know what you find out, how much they askin?

 

$366.00 CAD for the 2 door sedan gl*** and $516.00 CAD for the hardtop.

Still have no idea if the Fairlane and Customline gl*** is interchangeable.. Anyone?

Thanks again!

 

Not all are interchangeable,look on your Vin Tag and under the word body there is a code with 2 numbers and a letter,tell me what it says and I'll check the manual for you.

 

Can I just send ya the VIN?

 

According to my parts book there are 2 different windshields - one for body styles 64 and 76. Body 64 is a 2 door hardtop or Crown Vic. My '56 Fairlane is a 64C - 2 door Victoria hardtop. Body style 76 is a convertible.

The other windshield fits all other body styles (sedans, wagons, etc.)

I don't have the NAGS #s for the w/shield but the original Ford #s are: For body 64 and 76: B5A-7603100-A (clear) or B (tinted).

Part # for all others is B5A-7003100-E (clear) or F (tinted). A good gl*** shop might be able to cross-ref the Ford # for you. I just bought a new windshield for mine, the local gl*** guy had no trouble getting it.

If you don't have or can't find the VIN tag, post a pic of the car?

If it's a 2 door no-post Customline (hardtop), it's probably body style 64D. If it's a 2 door CENTERPOST Customline (sedan), it's likely a body style 70B. BUT DON'T take my word for it - the body style is stamped on the VIN tag, it should be right under the Serial #. Hope this helps.

 

Oh yeah, mine cost $590 US, included $130 shipping. I could've driven to to St Louis from Lansing MI (what, 450 or so miles?) to pick it up but no time and the gas to go to/from would've cost nearly what they charged so might as well let them take the risk.

 

Thanks man, that just double verified the email that Jeff sent.

Sincerely appreciate the help boys, don't know what to say!!
