Title: `57 Victoria Hardtop and Retractable windshields
Post by: JPotter57 on 2011-12-08 22:09
Are these windshields the same?  I have been emailing with a guy at the HAMB who is building a removable hardtop Ranchero (?) with a retractable cowl and windshield section, and he wants to use a Fairlane Vicotria windshield and the smaller trim...Is it the same?

James would that be exStreamliner ?  If not got a link.....I think the Fairlane windshields are all the same and the Customs are all the same.  The lady at "The Glass Doctor" simply asked me if I had a Fairlane or a Custom when looking for one for the Ht I had.

I thought the same thing about the glass, not sure about the trim...
Yes, that is him...

Yeah, Fairlane windshield is roughly an inch shorter than the Custom/wagon/Ranchero windshield.
