wk59 Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 Thank you received: 0	I recently purchased a 1957 Pacific Mariner Lance. The windshield is broken, it appears to be automotive,wrap around, safety glass. I was hoping someone would know what automobile windshield they used on this boat so I could get a replacement, thanks WK59 Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

It fell right out of the frame. I'm thinking that if you have a windshield that is cracked, it's either not glass or at least not safety glass. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

wk59,

Your boat's windshield may be either the windshield or rear window from a Studebaker car. - Studebaker Motor Co sold LOTS their glass to boat-builders to "make extra money" in the '50s.

You might also measure the windshield & compare it to the demensions of Corvette roadsters of the '50s.
(I know that some builders used Corvette windshields, too, because they were "short".)

yours, satx
