wind wings

[Carl]

Does anyone still reproduce the original black edged wind wing glass for 32 and 34?

Sanders in Oregon, perhaps.

 

[Carl]

thanks David, I'll call them.

 

[Ken/Alabama]

I agree with David. They supplied me with the ones for my 39 Zephyr with the date code I wanted. Fit perfectly.

On this subject, were wind wings ever fitted to the front seat (back ?) on phaeton models to protect passengers in the rear ?

 

[DavidG]

A second windshield with wings was not a Ford accessory, but rather it was an aftermarket item, especially for '35-'36 phaetons. Like other big cars of the period, Lincoln phaetons in the first half of the decade of the '30s offered the choice of a single cowl and windshield or a dual cowl and two windshields.

Thank you

Sanders can do these but you may want to send your own template for the glass as they had more that one template on file for my 36.

I made templates from 1/4 inch masonite after observing wind wings on other cars that two of the sides were parallel to the windshield post and the other two were parallel to the top of the door. With the use of a protractor, radial arm saw and bench grinder, I cut out the templates to fit brackets from Bob Drake. I had the local glass fabricator make the glass wind wings. I have retained the templates in the event of future need.
