Are there any good, reproduction windshields for 1960 to 1964 Mopars?  I believe all full size makes interchange in those years, correct?  Anyone have any personal experience with a new/aftermarket piece of glass?

The '60 - '61 compound windshield is repopped in Finland. All '60 had the compound windshield but only convertible had it in '61. The other models used the "flat" windshields, also repopped in Finland. The flat and compound windshields interchange '60 to '64. The quality of the Finnish produced windshields is very high.

The compound curved glass is also used in 62-64 converts.

Thanks' didn't know that. The 62 looks ok with the compound windshield, but the flat one would be better on the 63 and 64 in my opinion.

call pilkington classics. They sell the glass that your local glass guys buys, you can buy direct(Pickup in ohio or new mexico) if your local , or they might ship to you.

Be aware their compound curved 58-59? isnt as high curved as factory.

After some additional digging, I can get the glass for $375 to $425 but shipping in a giant crate is another $200. At that cost, I'll probably steal the windshield from my '61 and part that car out after all.
