Re: [FWDLK] Bubble Windshields

What happens in a situation/accident where our bubble windshield would become broken. Lets assume we have insurance with a classic car insurer like Hagarty or Grundy. Would they cover the $1000 + cost of replacing windshield?  Has anyone had experience with this?  John Z

All '57 Mopar convertibles had the new bubble windshields.  All '57 Mopar hardtops (2dr and 4dr) had a non-bubbled shield.  All '57 Mopar sedan type bodies (incl. wagons) had yet another non-bubbled shield.   Read three glasses for '57.

 

In '58 and '59 all Mopar convertibles and 2 and 4 dr hardtops used that same '57 convertible type bubble shield.

 

In 1960, a new bubble windshield was created.  It does not interchange with '57-59.   In 1961and up, although the physical dimensions of the windshield frame are the same, Mopars used a nearly flat shield.   The flat '61 type can be installed in a 1960 or vice versa.   I have a '60 hardtop with a '61 style windshield
