Shadow and Shadowlette,

Congratulations. That will be a fabulous car once it comes together. And what a unique daily driver!

$350 for a rear window sounds like a good price. I needed one for my '53 Henney Junior and couldn't find one at any price. I ended up buying a '54 ambulance parts car just for the window. Of course I now have other parts (rear side glass too!) -- packardguy53 and others are right when they say scavenge what you can, when you can, you'll probably need it!

No more to come. I had a '54 Henney Senior ambulance parts car, which gave up its rear door to my '53 and its 359 engine to a Caribbean (not mine). It's gone now.

Ozstatman -- 1955 is my year of birth. Sadly Henney was out of business by '55.

Great idea for a thread! I'm American, but I've lived overseas for many years and usually read British classic car magazines since they're much easier to find than American ones. Some of them, such as Classic & Sports Car, are excellent.

To add to the list:

American / British

Sedan / Saloon
Station wagon / Estate car
Tachometer / Rev counter
Windshield / Windscreen
Convertible top / Hood
Defroster / De-mister
Turn signal / Indicator
Transmission / Gearbox
Bias ply (tires) / Crossply (tyres)
License plate / Number plate
Spare tire / Spare wheel
Gas tank / Fuel tank or Petrol tank
Passenger's side / Nearside (that's the LEFT side in a British car)
Driver's side / Offside
