Title: Source for obsolete glass??
Post by: Bruce Dorsi on December 17, 2005, 09:55:24 AM

I am trying to locate a clear (non-tinted) driver's-side Quarter glass for a 1965 Olds F-85 coupe (w/post).

The glass I need was used on '64-'65 Olds F-85, '64-65 Pontiac LeMans, and '64-65 Buick Specials.

The local glass suppliers and junkyards are of no help.

Does anyone know of a source for obsolete glass, or have one laying around?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I remember reading that LOF had a phone number you could call a few years ago that had a listing of all the glass available for older cars. I found this website but know nothing about them. www.psautoglass.com/

Thanks for your help, guys!

PS Auto Glass deals only in new glass, and advised me that no one is reproducing this glass.

Debco Auto Wreckers did not have the item, but they were extremely helpful in telling me where two are located. ....One is in Fresno, the other is in Washington state.

I put in a call to Vintage Auto Glass USA, and I'm awaiting their return call.

Thanks, again! ....Things look promising!

I'll call a local yard tomorrow, but he's been clearing out a lot of cars, old and newer.

I called Ace Auto Salvage in Tonica, IL today. He said they might have the window, but they are closed until Jan 8, 06. If you haven't found one by then, give Mitch a call at 815-442-8224 on the 8th.

Thank you for your response!

All American was one of the sources named by Debco.

Thank you very much for your efforts, Phil!

Supposedly, I have one enroute to me. ....If that doesn't materialize, I will try your lead.
