mike patla Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hello, I am trying to ID this center strip and I really do not know if it fits a front or rear windshield. It may not even be for a windshield--I just do not know. It came to me in a load of Lasalle parts but I cannot find its parts # in a Cadillac/Lasalle parts book. Its parts number is 1367424 . Any help is appreciated and I thank you in advance. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTR Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 "DPCD" logo indicates Chrysler Corp. manufactured and the casting/part number first two digits 13***** suggest +/- 1953 time period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for a 1952, I think. The 1953 has a one piece windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than OP wondering whether or not it is for one, who says it has anything to do with a windshield ? Being made of die cast, I seriously doubt it is.

Here's the one on our 51 Plymouth Suburban - not a great picture but shows the part. Edited August 21, 2023 by 3macboys (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I didn’t know that. 👍 My experience with post-war Chrysler vehicles prior to ‘55 is very limited and most of the outside windshield trim on post-war cars in general I’ve ever seen have usually been stainless, hence my initial doubt, but at least I learned something new again.

TTR Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 While researching for something else, I looked up the (casting) number in one of my OEM catalogs and the closest part number I found was 1367 422, a windshield division bar for '51-'52 Plymouth 2- & 4-dr Sedan, Club Coupe & Suburban. Finding near matching, but not exactly same casting vs. part number has been fairly common in mid-to-late '50s MoPars I've worked on over the years. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
