New glass for 1913?

Post by kommandant 95 » Tue Dec 27, 2022 8:19 pm

Any advice on where to get new windshield glass for a 1913? Every place I go to wants a template, none exists to my knowledge and I do not have any original glass to use.

Take your windshield frame to a glass shop that has been in business for a long and have them install glass--safety plate, no trademarks showing. I have done it many times, no patterns needed.

The Ford glass book starts with 1915, so Jack's advice is best.
The inevitable often happens.
1915 Runabout
1923 Touring

Thanks for the replies! I'm so excited to have my car road read in a couple months!
