I need the left rear quarter frame and the right front (door) window frame for a my 98, a 1959 convertible. Can anyone help?

Is it the rear 1/4 lower frame? They are reproed out of steel or they were....very expensive but maybe your only choice as 59 and 60 only interchange for Caddy, big Buick and the 98. Search Ebay.

Yes, that's right, I need the lower section that attaches to the regulator, or electric motor, in my case. There's a ratty pair on eBay right now, but he says they are out of a Pontiac. They look to be the original diecast, rather than steel.
Do you remember where the steel ones were coming from? That would be stronger, and easier to get plated.

A pontiac rear frame wont work. There are ads in Hemmigs for 59 Cadillac frames. 705-385-3382 is the number for classic caddies in Ontario or www.classiccaddies.com

WOW.
Maniac, you are the man!
You were right on all counts. He's sky high, but he's got exactly what I need, and it will be done right once. Great fellow to talk to, and we're all set for me to mail him up my window for a rebuild!
Can't thank you enough! Man, I am so glad I joined this forum.

Sometimes we have no choice but to bite the bullet and take a hit. We should be glad that at least the part is available. Hope it all works out!
