RE: IML: 1957-1966 Windshields

[greg pitman <grizlyrr@xxxxxxxxx>]

My 63 convertible has the compound windshield, and I was told that ALL of the converts came with it and SOME of the others.

Just a minor correction:

 

The compound windshield was still being made for the '62 Imperials - mine certainly had one at least.  I'm not sure about 1963 but as they are very close overall in style to the '61-'62, I would imagine so.  And I do seem to recall noticing the compound windshield on a '63 Crown I stopped to look at locally two years ago.

-saving for a '60 or '62

All those windshields fit the same, but just note that after 1961, the compound curvature is gone.  The glass still fits in the frame the same, but a ruler laid on the glass right up the middle will lie flat on newer ones, where there was a distinct, rounded, roll-back to meet the roof on earlier ones.  A subtle difference, perhaps (and so thought Chrysler's accountants); but I really prefer the additional depth and fullness of the compound curved original.  jc

The windshield is switchable from any 1957 Imperial to any 1966 Imperial.  If
you think that you can defie all. don't eventry.  The windshields from
chrysler's are smaller and do not fit the Imperials from the subject matter.
