    So, what's wrong with used?
    The broken one was 60 years old.
    I bet the rest of the gl*** in the wagon is that old also.

    A good used one for the win over a Lexan replacement any day of the week.
     
  6. Good call Mark. I was going to search car-part.com for him but hadn't got there yet.

  7. I would only do lexan or plexi as a way to keep the car sealed up. Definitely find an original gl*** one.

    As a temporary measure to be able to use the car, sure.

    Used is my first choice it’s just they are a little hard to find.

    Is a 60 the same? There is a wagon in a yard near me.

    I’m not sure on that. Somebody else will need to confirm that

  15. I sent a message off to the guy that owns this car, he's from Sedalia. Not sure if he will be any help or not. We'll see what he says.

    Thanks to the help from fellow H.A.M.B. members I was able to find a gl***. I think I’m going to buy a spare also since the supply is drying up and they are not reproduced. Appreciate all the help

    61-2 only. Pontiac and Buick Should be the same--maybe Olds, too.

    Hey @MikeC62
    So very cool that you found the gl*** that you need.
    Purely as an illustration of just how unique back gl*** can be during the 60s, or for that matter, any year you care to think about from the past decades.
    This one year only body style, ( 1960 Ford Country Sedan) that my friend owns, has one of the most unique back gl*** for a wagon, that I have ever seen.
    Thanks from Dennis.

  20. It is wise if available to have a spare for gl*** that is not reproduced. I picked up a spare for my two Buicks, only made in 40 and 41. French Lake had one.
