    I have a 51 chev 2 door sedan . My dad bought it in 1955. . They came with a 2 piece windshield. In the late 1960s I bought a 1 piece windshield some one else had put in a 51.. Now I need a replacement. Any ideas on a one piece windshield that would fit ..

    That was a real popular swap with guys customizing those Chevys back in the day.

    Are you sure about that? Can you cite a source of information to verify that?

    ....That would be a new one on me if it is the case. I mean they are totally different bodies by '53/'54.

    no, it doesn't....
    just look at the large sweeping radius at the top outside of the w/s on the 52 , the 53 has a far tighter radius there and I am sure that is not the only difference

  15. I just wonder how much different the Buick/ Cadillac gl*** is? And I'm having trouble getting cl***ic gl***, the popular stuff isn't bad, but I've been told no for about a year and a half on the olds windshield. Just like everything else around here, like people that ***** about Hoffman group, ask where the gl*** is made. The overseas junk isn't worth putting in your car. Unless you're just trying to fill the hole lol...

    No Caddy and/or Buick gl*** in that period fits any Chevrolet…….

    Used some auto city gl*** in a 53 hard top. No issues. They used to have the Olds style
