    Can't hurt to see if they have a windshield?

      Here is one listed on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-1959-19...dXs09S&vxp=mtr
      They are out of the tinted/shaded but note that they should be getting some back in. A friend used this w/s and was very happy with the quality. About the best price I have found.

        Does it have the correct curve to it?

          Daleo56 bought the windshield and had it installed by a glass shop. He said the installer was impressed with the quality of the glass. Keep in mind, any windshield for our cars is probably coming out of China. This one might have come from S. America, but I can't be sure of that. The windshield looks great and he didn't comment about any problems on the install.

            Not China, but Peru. These are marked AGP, Auto Glass of Peru.

              That's good to hear, since I will need one at some point.

                Bob is easy to speak with when you call. I believe his factory is in Oregon but he also has a warehouse in the LA area. We have never heard of a complaint from any of his products. He also offers a wide variety of options. I suggest you give Bob's a call. - Dave

                  I ordered all my glass through Bobs and was very pleased with their service and product. The importer that supplies his glass is based in L.A., so even though I ordered it from Oregon, I was able to pick it up here and save shipping costs. Bobs can also supply any of the straight glass in laminated for an additional fee. All of the tempered will come from China. I just posted the Ebay vendor as a second option, since I know someone that used them and was also pleased.

                    I believe the replacement windshields do not "bulge" out at the top like the originals. I ran across an absolutely beautiful '60 at a show last weekend, and it had a new windshield. Nobody would know it was different from original...except for the guys on this site....
