I am curious about the rear glass replacement for Packard

My windshield has a crack but this would be an easy fix. Those are readily available. One side window has a tiny crack, but I will leave it as is, unless the crack gets larger. Either way, it won't be hard because side window has flat glass and glass can be cut to fit.

I am curious about those one model year only curvy rear glass, what if they need replacement. Does the glass have to be specifically made for the car, or they are still in stock somewhere? For example, 1951-1954 Packard junior/senior had different curvy glass on the back, often with changes on the roofline, and occasionally with changes in split (53 senior cars seemed to have split rear glass while 54 had one piece), this is a nightmare situation for parts interchangeability and availability.

I wonder how owners replace the broken glass in this situation
