Re: Classic windshield interchange???



Yes, the American glass is a lot cheaper for some reaswon. The glass shop thought they had my windshield in stock and would only cost $190 installed. Wrong! They had an American windshield and it definitely would nOT fit my Ambassador.

But not 66? Or does you Hollander manual just go up to 65? Seems strange that the 66 would be different, I don't recall a roofline change, but there may have been one.
