Rear Window (Marmon, not Hitchcock)

[sambarn]

I am ready to send the 27 Marmon Model L to the convertible top shop but do not have a rear window for it. Does anyone have a suggestion for replacement? It is glass and I would need a frame/trim bits for it.

There are some oval ones in the Packard museum parts department downtown, but I think they're WAAAAY too small for what you want. I'd say maybe 8 inches or so. Plus, I'm not sure if they're meant for soft tops or hard.

Do you have an idea of what size it's supposed to be? Obviously, LeBaron Bonney sells repro rear windows.

If it has to be a specific size, one could probably be fabricated. I know NC Industries does windshield frames, wonder if they could do a framed window?

I tried to search Ebay for a rear window, but that's about impossible with all the junk that comes up.......

Yes, Ebay has failed me as well. I'll have correct size by the end of the week. I just have to get to the Marmon Heritage and dig through that. 8" may be around correct. The entire panel is only about 18" tall. The 1927 E-75 window is just over 10" tall but is probably not useful as a standard for what the Model L should be and the panel it is in is about 21" tall.

Rand Broadstreet might be a source, too.

I went to the parts department today and found these windows. The glass is beveled on both of them.

West,

If Sam doesn't want these, I would be interested.

Thanks,
