Hello again.... Well, I am looking at a 1961 Mercury Meteor 2-door post to buy.....and it has a crack in the windshield. The '61 is a Galaxie-based car, not the fairlane-based unit started in 1962....this is the only thing holding me up from expressing any further interest in it... Anyone have any suggestions about where to find or make a replacement? Will a Galaxie windshield fit? Thanks for any assistance you might be able to give...
You need to find a GOOD glass shop and ask them to look it up NEW !! My Ex bought a '61 Meteor 800 a couple years ago & the guy she got it from had a BRAND NEW windshield & rubber installed in it before we picked it up from Arizona. Guy said the Glass came from Souther Calif so i know they are available New.
Check out Bobs Classic Auto Glass 800 624 2130. He is on teh west coast somewhere...Oregon or Washington...I can't remember. He is Hudson440 here on the HAMB. GREAT guy. -Abone.
61-62 and maybe 60 windshields should interchange on like body styles - IE sedan/wagon use one, hardtop/convertible the other, for all full size Fords/Mercs. It shouldn't be a hard piece to find.
