I have experienced owning cars that carried over their previous owner's personality. That Chevy truck is one I wouldn't touch. Its stigmatized.
Look how long he wrote to expose himself and how short I confirmed it. Three of the five old cars I own came from really nice people, luckily the Packard was one. Bernie

Hi
WHY? Greed on the part of the seller, narcissism on the part of the buyer, and a complete lack of historic appreciation on the part of both.

That can't be a '52 Mayfair, can it? Wrong windshield, but it does have the grille teeth.

Perhaps my memory is failing me but I seem to recall that the 51/52 Convertible and Mayfair had squared corners on the windshield, which the rest of the carline didn't get until 1953.

Hi Gentlemen
My 1954 Shat-R-Proof Auto Glass Replacement book shows usage and part number interchange for 1940-1954. Windshield (W234) is used by all 1951-54 hardtops and convertibles. For sedans, only 1951-52 use (W193), rounded upper corners, in common. Then 1953-54 sedans use (W312), the squared upper corner unit. Although the latter looks the same as the hardtop/convertible unit, it isn't. It surprises me they didn't fit the hardtop/convertible windshield for sedan use throughout to save tooling costs from the get-go. Steve
