23 - 25 windshield question

[tom_strickling]

I think I know the answer, but has anyone ever seen a 23-25 roadster with a windshield that has a hinge in the middle of the windshield similar to what a 1918 or 1919 would have? All I have seen pivot up at the top of the stanchion.

Tom, you'd need a colonial bodied Australian built car. My Duncan and Fraser cars have both windscreens pivoting, as does my Holden bodied tourer. My wide body roadster has a single windscreen which pivots about 2/3 of the way from the top. There are many variations on the windscreen theme.

If you are just talking about the glass swinging, the lower glass on the Canadian cars swung but the windshield post were not hinged like the 15-22 cars. Chevrolet used a very similar design windshield post, their lower glass also swung. Then there could have been windshield/posts that were offered aftermarket where the top half folded down.
