Title: Sign of the times
Post by: 57chero on 2015-05-01 19:29
The glass shop next to the plumbing shop where I have worked for almost 30 years is closing its doors after 75 years in business . These guys were very talented did things the old school way, they cut all the flat glass for my ranchero back when I was building it using original patterns from 57.

Zap,

Talked to the guys at the glass shop today, they sold the machine and all the patterns to Peninsula glass also known as (Sanders reproduction auto glass: Classic Auto Glass) in Vancouver Wa. for $500, they said the patterns ranged from 1922-1964 included cars pickups even some semi's .
