Window Glass for '75 442

Looking for the right side window glass [passenger window] for a 1975 442.


My brother and I bought and are trying to do some restoration on this car as a gift for my mom and dad's retirement/40th/ anniversary. It was the first car my dad bought and the one he had when he met my mom. This window glass broke and we've had real trouble finding a replacement- any help in the right direction would be appreciated

73-77 GM A-bodies of same body style all use the same glass. This means any F37 or G37 fastback coupe. Cutlass, Chevelle, LeMans, Century. Might make the search easier.

Pretty sure the 57 (notchback coupe) door glass is different. That's Supreme, Monte Carlo, Grand Prix and Regal.

Window Glass for '75 442

First of all, welcome to the site. I should have the door glass; however, I have two questions. Is it clear or tinted? Where are you located? Thanks, Bob.

That's a long way to ship from South Florida. Do you know anyone looking to escape the Great White North for awhile?

Yep there still are some old school junk yards in Michigan but they are few and far between. Hopefully oldolds has one, otherwise start looking!

@Oldoldolds88 that would be awesome! I'm in the Muskegon/ Grand Haven area. But willing to go for a drive if you've got the glass

Eight to twelve likely in local yards' glass collection, however all may be tinted. Being clear makes it a bit harder to find.

I have one from a 73 . The drive to Southern Ontario wouldn’t be too bad if the boarders were open.

I found one in a local yard that I think will work. Not that I wouldn't love to jump the border and head to Canada- but I think I'm set for now. Thanks all!
