Re: I am curious about the rear glass replacement for Packard

The back window on my 53 Cavalier is like new. If it looks this good after 71 years, I don't expect there will ever be a need to replace it. And to make sure it doesn't get chipped or cracked, I don't go over 40 when backing up.

My windshield had been hit by something significant and was a mess on the passenger side. I found some people selling a 53 Patrician that had a good used windshield just sitting inside the car. I wanted to buy just the windshield, but they wanted the whole car gone, so I ended up buying the car to get the windshield. But the parts car has come to the rescue a few times, and now I have an extra rear window if I ever need it. Apparently the motor and transmission were working well before it was parked about 12 years ago, so I have spares of those too.
