Nice find! what are your plans for this one?

[AZhitman]

Most likely a pure OEM restoration - She's rare enough to preserve properly.

GREG! You rocked it man! This thing is sweet! Hey if you get a chance can you measure the window height and width? It may be a match for my 59'!

 

I am in love!

JUST in case the measurements below line up, here's the glass you're looking for: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DATSUN-BLUBIRD-4D-SEDAN-312-WINDSHIELD-1960-64-FW176BT-/380287501745?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item588ae6c5b1#ht_500wt_956

 

Here ya go Fischie - Please note, these measurements may be a tiny bit off, as the glass is still in the (admittedly shagged) weatherstripping:

 

Across the top 42"

Across the bottom 46"

Height of sides 15"

Height at center 16"

 

Imprint on front glass:

Dude it is close! Were you measuring from the outside of the weather strip or the middle?

 

Mine is:

 

Height center- 15 3/4"

Height L&R sides- 15 3/8"

 

Width top- 42 1/4"

Width middle- 43 1/2"

Width bottom- 43 3/4"

 

It is that last measurement, 'width bottom' that seems to be off by almost 2". SOOO CLOSE!!!

 

And I actually have been trying to get the guy on Ebay to measure his for me, so you are a big help as usual Hitman! Thanks Bro!!!

[AZhitman]

Let me re-measure tomorrow... I'll try to locate the edges of the glass (immediately off the curve radius) and go from there.
