Re: Classic windshield interchange???

You may want to give OEM Glass a call:

OEM Glass, Inc
PO Box 362
Bloomington, IL 61702

Phone: 309-662-2122
Fax: 309-663-7474

Also, If one glass shop can get it, chances are that any off them can get 
it. When I had a new windshield put in one of my Americans a few years ago, 
I got quotes ranging from about $250 to over $600 so it pays to call 
around. The highest quote also wanted to charge me about $200 for the 
windshield gasket (they called it a moulding) but I already had a new one 
that I paid much less for. Also, you may want to check with car dealers and 
body shops in your area to see who they use. Sometimes, places that mostly 
service businesses don't advertise in a phone book and you may find a 
better deal there.

Also, make sure that you get a new windshield gasket. Kennedy American 
lists the same one for 1963-66 2 and 4 door sedans for $89.50 (many other 
AMC suppliers also sell these and prices are similar).
