Re: [FWDLK] windshield interchange

[Dave Grove Grove Automotive <groveautomotive@xxxxxx>]

Gee fellas, - I hate to add to all this confusion, but 57 & 59 Plymouth
windshields are *not* "the same".  While they may (and I know they *will*)
"interchange", the appearance is different..
I have a 59 myself, and there is a 57 in here for service.  If you park them
next to each other, the difference in shape where the glass meets the roof
is quite obvious.
The word "bubble" comes to mind here.
AFAIK, 59 was the first Plymouth to use this style glass.
I would not want a 57/58 glass in the 59, - I just don't think it would
"look" right..........

Regards,
DaveG.
