Do you have one of the glasses still or are they gone. It's a flat glass easily cut at a glass shop. The grommets are the hard part. If yours are still there soaking them in wd-40 will soften up the rubber were you may be able to use them.
Thanks for your reply! My car has regular flat glass in it with no decoration and I appreciate the wd-40 tip. The windows I hope to find actually have beveling. I have attached a photo that shows the beveling around the lines if you look closely. I know it's a long shot to find originals but thought I'd try before I decide to make or have them made. There are many different variation of Henney Rear windows as far as design goes and they are all beautiful. Once I learn a little more about them, I'd love to start a discussion on them for others as there isn't really any info that I can find.

M guess is you would need to get into the 20s to find the lead crystal beveled glass. I seen it but never on a car as new as yours. By 38 it was all safty plate.
I have been in discussion with a couple fellas from Packardinfo and they believe it's flat glass with etchings in the inside to simulate the beveling. Looking closer to the pic, it does appear that way.

That would make since. One of the options they offered to make you car more persional.
