Re: [FWDLK] 56 Plymouth Windshield

Marty and other glass seekers:

Almost any glass shop in the country (US & Canada) will be aware of
one of the obsolete glass locating services but you will pay a
retail price unless your local shop is a friend of yours and does
not take the large markup available to them.

I highly recommend Vick Phillips, classicglass@xxxxxxxx, as a source
for replacement windshields and back glasses or even side glass.
Vick has his own large inventory and searches diligently for
anything he does not stock.  I have bought several pieces from him
and saved money doing so.

If there is a reproduction gasket available for your car, any
installing glass shop is going to want you to provide one.  There is
too much risk of them breaking the new glass while trying to use the
old hard gasket plus it will provide a more weathertight seal for
you in the future.  Mopar glass gaskets were very good quality
rubber and some are still usable, if the shop will agree.

Can any one tell me what the general availablility is for a
windshield for a 1956 Plymouth Plaza?  Is it likely I can order one
from a local glass shop or is this something that is going to have
to be found NOS somewhere in the unknown? I am in Canada.
Thank you in advance.
