62 Eureka Windshield different?

Ricky Jones

I am in the process of buying a windshield from Al at Pilkington glass(1-800-848-5577) for my 62 Cadillac Eureka Hearse. When I ordered it from him I told him 62 Cadillac Hearse. It is due in any day ready for him to ship to me in Hawaii and it came up in our conversation that mine is a Eureka. He told it would not fit Eureka. I thought that 59 to 63 Cadillac Hearse Limo all the same.

I measured the height to be about 28" and he said that 27 7/8 so should fit.

The passenger side of the window has marking Safety Glass, LOF and then A51YY. He said that makes it a 1959 (August I think he said) windshield and thinks it will fit.

Before I have it shipped to Hawaii for over $600 want to make sure.

Does anyone know if Eureka windshields are different?

Thanks
Ricky
 
windshield fits?

An old time Cadillac salesman told me several years ago that I should look for 59 parts when shopping for my 61 M-M. He said the commercial chassis and series 75 limo used the same front glass from 59 through 65 as Attila has said.

Windshield,s

These are old NAGS #S (National Auto Glass)
The #s I believe are the same but the prefixes have changed , most glass shops can interchange these #s
59-64 W570
59- 65 Limo W570
65-70 W678
71-76 W788
77-84 W881

There was a post about the Eureka windshields I belive on the old board, there was I belive certain models Eureka ,s had a taller windshield in 59-60 . But if your,s measures the 28" sounds like the regular cc windshield should work.
 
He might have been thinking of the Eureka hearses that were built in Canada. I recently was told what the glass was from, but don't remember... I will ask Tom when I see him next time...

Paul, I may have talked to you a little about this in Flint. A lot of people have heard you could not get windshields for the Eureka Pontiacs. Tom told me my 85 Eureka Pontiac hearse used a '78 Cadillac Commercial Chassis windshield.
 
Thank you

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I have the order for windshild with AL going and can relax knowing it will fit my Eureka.

Aloha!
 
I looked at my 2 '62 MM Cadillac windshields and found this number/letter mark on them
A1S

Did yours have that on it ?

What did the windshield end up costing you ?


Next time im in Hawaii I will look you up. I was there twice last year.

Take it easy,
