I plan to have new glass cut locally for the rear window of my 32 five window coupe. The original glass is gone so cannot use it as a template. What sources are there for the shape and dimensions of this window? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
 
I used a piece of whie construction paper and traced around the inside of the opening. Then I used 1/8 or 1/4 inch masking tape around the edge to get the outside dimensions. Some of the older glass shops have patterns.
 
Greg Roberts of Chickasha, Ok makes the glass for 32's and it looks nice, I got tired of local guys as they just aren't used to cutting glass for cars. Greg's number is 405-222-8191
 
If you only need the back glass, I would just make a cardboard pattern, leave about 1\8 loose for the gasket all the way around, and have a local glass shop cut it, my local shop cut me a new windshield in about 30 minutes for $65.00, that's after I cracked my first one! But... if you need all the glass for a complete car, there are many glass shops that have the patterns & glass in different colors ready to go for about $300.00 I put smoked gray in mine and it looks great!
 
Gordon,

If you still need the pattern I can send you one of the original glass. PM me to provide your address.
