1937 Packard 115 windshield questions

Posted by Ken_P On 2011/2/16 9:45:02

I have three quick questions about the windshield in my car:

1. It's flat glass, so I'm planning on having a local glass shop cut me a new one. The windshield currently in my car is delaminated. Do I need to bring the old one in for a pattern?

2. Haven't seen the car in person yet, but from pictures, the windshield appears to be in a rubber seal with a windshield frame against the rubber and screwed to the body on the interior side. If so, it's put together exactly the same way as an old Willys Wagon I used to own. Am I correct? If not, how do I change the windshield glass?

3. Anyone have a recommendations for a good glass shop near New London, CT?

Thanks!
