Chevy Fleetline window in a 50 Merc?

I searched this and only found one Mercury with a Fleetline backglass. It was a 51 Mercury and had a 41 Fleetline glass. Has anyone used a 49-52 Fleetline Deluxe window(with stainless trim) in a 49-51 Mercury? Post pictures. If this looks good, I will be in the market for the glass, trim and frame.

 

Has no one done this?

 

Don't know but I cut the rear window section out of a 47 Chevy sedan I parted out just for that purpose. All I need now is to find the Merc guy that needs it....

 

how much do you want for it?

 

i have a back window out of a 1947 chevy fleetline i parts out i cut it out with frame and trim and it is for sale pm me .thanks

 

I cut down a rear cab window frame from a 5 ton chevy dump truck for a 28 sports coupe rear window.worked and looks fine

 

I got a '51 Merc and I was wondering about a rear window for it. Any sugestions would be appreciated.

 

Did you mean 41 Fleetline? Fleetline usually defines a fastback model which wasn't made in 41. I do think the "German Helmet" 4 door body was called a Fleetline in 1941.

 

I'm not sure about a fast back in 41, but the mercury I'm referring to is said to have a 41 fleetline back window....check out the thread, its George Garzas car. Here it is...

A '51 Merc window looks good.

 

a '51 merc RARELY looks good, "book of love" merc is good as well as the hirohata merc'. Those are some good examples, but if you have a '49-50 then just reuse the og rear window, if you have a '51 merc then find a '50 rear window.

 

Correction ..... A 51 window looks right when it is done right! A 51 merc window belongs in a 51 mercury. Dont get fooled , the reason people started using 50 merc glass in a 51 merc was not for looks..... it was because they didnt know how to lay the 51 window down like they should and that is a fact.Dont get me wrong there are some guys who do like the look of a 50 window better then the 51 but it is rare. Do yourself and history a favor ...... keep the 51 window in a 51 merc please.

 

you right Jeff...but it takes a 'sultan of chop' to do it ha ha!

Yes !!!!! Look at that beauty !!!! I dont see how anyone can not think a 51 window looks better on a 51 merc. It does take the Sultan but his son can lay em just as good and he is still here doin it for us. R.I.P. Dick Dean. Badass picture of a badass sled.

 

wow!!!!!!!

 

yeah that is why I said "Rarely", most people don't do it right

 

What about a Fleetline window?

 

That is a beautiful Merc, and a beautiful Merc is a beautiful Merc but IMO that back window doesn't do a whole lot for the car, I happen to like it a bit better when I put my thumb over it in the picture. Use what you like, obviously, I happen to like the 49/50 Merc window myself, but to each their own.

 

I'd say, get it and go!

Although not Fleetline windows, check this earlier thread for some nice Paul Bragg mixin' and matchin'.
