Rooster Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Asking if the 1962 Invicta / Wildcat 2 door hardtop front windshield will interchange with any other GM models please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Glass should interchange with any other GM car of same year, platform and body style. Invicta/LeSabre/Wildcat are GM "B" body platform. This means 1962 Impala, Olds 88/Starfire, Pontiac Catalina/Grand Prix (and probably Bonneville) 2dHT windshields should be an exact replacement- as are side and rear windows. Pretty sure all 1962 Chevrolet body glass is available so this should be easy to find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Thanks Glenn. Yes, Chevrolet glass would be much easier to find here locally ( hence my enquiry ) 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 😎 Just hope your glass supplier also knows about GM interchange. Weatherstripping follows the same interchange if you need that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_hilmoe Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 '61 Should work too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I believe there was variation by roof line. In other words, a 2 or 4 door sedan front windshield won't fit a 2 door non-post car. Whatever your car is (4 door, 2 door, convertible, etc.). The corresponding 61/62 Impala body style will have the same windshield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 This is actual windshield glass information from a period Hollander Interchange Manual. The windshield interchange for a 1962 Invicta 2-dr. HT is number 2212. Please read it carefully. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drhach Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Those Hollander manuals are pretty handy. I've referred to them several times when looking for parts. Most of the time I strike out, but there are some wins. A god parts manual is a nice ting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRB62 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hey Ken, I assume this is for Greg's car? As mentioned above, ALL glass on his Wildcat are the same as Chevrolet and Pontiac coupes. The windscreen is the same for all models of coupe & convertible, but they are a couple of inches shorter than the sedan/wagon screen. My Electra has a 1961/62 Chevrolet screen in it, full tint and band. They are generally "off the shelf" even here in Perth. Don't ask for a Buick one! The Electra side glass is different to your car but the windscreen and vent windows are the same. All door rubber and hardware is the same for all models.
