Trivia # 35 - All About the Windshields

by Jason Edge

Dec 8, 2025

Keeping the trivia "glass related":

- How Many Different Windshields Were Used On All 1963 & 1964 Cadillac Body Styles? 

- What were the two main differences or subgroups of windshields? Hint, one was sort of related to the last trivia question.  Need specifics.

- EXTRA CREDIT: Most of the windshields offered only fit the 1963 & 1964 model years.  There are two that spanned others model years.  Which windshield would that be and what are the model years?

    This one may have been to obtuse I so I will spill the beans?

    There were 8 windshields used.

    1963/64 Coupes (6257/6357)
    1963/64 4 Window Sedans & Convertibles (6239, 6339, 6389, 6267, 6367)
    1963/64 6 Window Sedans (6229, 6329, 6039)
    1963/64 75 Series & Commercial chassis.

    BUT WAIT... THAT IS ONLY 4 --> They each came with the optional soft ray tint or clear. Also cars with the optional soft ray tint, would have a tint bar at the top which were two colors - tan and blue/green depending on the exterior of the car.

    WHAT ABOUT EXTRA CREDIT? ---> the 75 Series (Limo) was the same 1959 to 1965.  This would have also fit the 1959 to 1964 Commercial Chassis body styles. And since this windshield came with tint or no tint, there is your two! 

    FOR AN EXTRA FUN FACT: Just to note I had been parting cars out a couple of years before I realized the 4 Window Sedan windshield is the same as the convertible windshield ... but there it was in black and white in the Master Parts Book!!!

      Wow, it's amazing how many p/n#s they had back then. But wait, if there was a tan tint bar AND blue/green tint bar, wouldn't they have to be different p/n#s too? Which color cars had tan & which had blue/green?
