I think you are asking about the glass, not the cushions, right?  Dimensions might help.

yes I didn't think at the time to measure it I was cleaning out a deceased realitives home when I came across it

I guess I will say again,

I saw a windshield like this in a Kellison yesterday. Although unlikely as I am thinking that they probably used one from something else.

Its going back across the pond today.

The Kellison that I saw was at a glass shop. The owner wants to import it into a country that requires windows. These cars don't have door windows and this shop was putting electric roll up windows in the thing.

Obviously a very time consuming project, The way to rich owner is in to much of a hurry and pulled the car before it was done. He thinks he can get some service in some European country where they know what they are doing.

I think he is shooting himself in the foot.

The shop owner has mixed thoughts about this, He hated the job but is upset that he didn't get to finish the challenge. He was fitting wing vents from an old Nova, and fabricating everything else. The fiberglass doors present some problems as they are flimsy so he was mounting everything off of the door hinges. He had some pretty good ideas for the process and will not share any of his experience with whoever takes over.

 

This old guy does some pretty amazing things with auto glass, he does chops and will make molds of sorts if he is working on a car that glass is not available. He makes a cardboard grid to get the curves and will spend hours at the supplier pulling larger windshields to match to his mock up. He will then cut the window he needs from a larger windshield.

He just celebrated fifty years in the glass business, I don't know what these custom guys are going to do when he retires.
