VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 1934-1935 chevrolet roadster touring windshield

I am looking to find somebody that knows who makes the 1934 1935 Chevrolet roadster and touring car WINDSHIELD FRAME USA style 3 sides only.

There is a company that reproduces them, unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the company and their contact info.

Any help appreciated.

Am going to check The Filling Station catalogue if I can find the printed edition. I know they sold them, but want to find the actual producer.

Here is a company that was referred by a friend who had a frame built for his late '20's Pierce Arrow. He sent the remains of the original and they recreated it. I would assume that is also now one of their listed patterns.
They do not have your pattern listed, so they probably aren't the one that you were looking for. I can say that the Pierce turned out as very high quality. http://www.windshieldframes.com/History/

went to page 2 of the list of chevrolets and it shows 1933---1935 Chevrolet roadster and touring windshield frame pattern #85.


thank you........mike

Wow. I can't believe I missed the 2nd page. It also shows a 36 Holden frame, but if you Google up a Holden Chevy, they don't have our style of frame. They were an A pillar more like the regular US model. Perhaps that is the same as mine, which is an export only model. I have my original, so I can send it to them, but it may be even cheaper if they already have it in their pattern library.

That's correct the GM HOLDEN AUSTRALIA windshield frame is entirely different to north American built frame. Holden has 4 sides to the metal frame, the USA ones have 3 sides only...top L & R sides, bottom is glass that butts against a rubber strip. Luckily that company produces each of them.

If you don't find one I have a good windshield frame from a '33 Master roadster. I don't know the difference from the '34-'35.

The 1933 Chevrolet master roadster apparently is the same as the 1934-1935 standard >

I was asking for a friend who has a 35 standard phaeton and was looking to acquire a spare. I have the one I took off my 35 std roadster .

Instead I did him a favour and bought the car for myself. Going to USA to inspect it too complete the deal.

Dont know about the USA cars but the Holden bodied roadster windscreen is one and a quarter inches lower than the tourer windscreen.

That's an interesting fact for anybody re-doing a HOLDEN bodied roadster or phaeton.

Wonder which one the 34-35 roadster "pickup / UTE" would use ?

mike lynch .........madmike3435

Roadster utilities used the taller tourer windscreen.

Let's just be sure we are talking about the same thing. Here is what I believe is a '36 Holden/Chevy windshield.

This is what I mean by an American built, export only model.

The Holden had an A Pillar built into the body, while the US export version had stanchions. They are entirely different. The original post was for a 1934 - 1935 windshield, but this turned into a side question on 1936.

========================================================

Definitely the John Black phaeton in dark blue is LHD and has a north American 3 sided windshield frame.

The other tan coloured one, not sure whats going on there, looks like a convertible windshield with fixed body posts and frame. Was looking for roll up side windows but do not see any.
