Roger,
Yes, the rear window glass for the 2-door hardtop will interchange
between DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial - the rooflines are the same.
Also, the 1955 and 1956 models are the same, so hopefully that will
help you, too.
Sorry to hear about your wife, although it is good news that she survived.
Hope she is recuperating nicely. As you say, glass can be replaced but
never a loved one.
