Title: Source for 1957 Ford glass
Post by: JPotter57 on 2011-10-16 13:58
At Cruisin the Coast last week, I went to the swap meet.  There was an outfit there called Auto Classic glass, out of Wisconsin or Minnesota one.  They had Custom/Custom 300 windshields for $289, rear glass for 269 or 289.  I plan to get a new windshield from them next year at crusin the coast to save on shipping.. They do ship...I will post their web address in a little while, I got a card from them, may scan it and post it....

James, I did my Ranchero with a tinted Green winhshield and smoked gray side windows and rear window, from auto classics, they do a lot of swap meets up by me, and are good people to work with. Tom

Good info....The rear backlite is coming up on my priority list real quick...maybe this month if I don't order my wiring harness first. 289 is about 100 cheaper than the ebay guy, so I'm anxious to get their ordering info.I'll need one in smoke tint.

James..We have an "Auto City Classic Glass" on our list of vendor websites. They are out of Asanti, Mn. Could this be the same as you're talking about. As per their website, I sent them a request for price and availability for the rear curved glass.

Before you buy any replacement glass check out the thickness as I ran accross some aftermarket (off shore) glass that was thinner than the original.

 "I think its in my Carpenter catalog"...did you happen to pick up one of their 2012 big calenders(24x36 or so) with the gorgeous '57 custom 300? I'll try to post a pic of it later.
