[FWDLK] THANKS 57 Windshield part number FOUND

Thanks to everyone that helped us with the part number for our 1957 Plymouth Hardtop Windshield (451). We have found one and it's on order. Should be here this Friday!

Our mis-ordered (453) windshield will probably find it's way to e-Bay if we confirm that is actually what we have. It is flat glass and does not have the "bubble" like our 57 convertible and our 59 Sports Fury. We ordered the 453 from a local glass shop, so we don't know where it originally came from. The 453 is the exact contour for the 57 hardtop but is 25-5/8 high at the center. It's still a mystery to us.
