The only reason you might want to find a factory original piece of glass is
to maintain the original "bug" or logo in a lower corner of the glass. It
carries a date code in the bug which would indicate month and year within 45
days of the actual production day of your car.
Many old glass shops have pattern books which go back that far and a lot
farther. If you are in/near a big city, there will be shops like this.
However, any shop can cut a new piece of glass from your old pattern piece
and install it. The exception being if your original is shattered, of
course.

Subject: General question about glass
Greetings!
I need to replace the passenger door window in my 55 Chrysler NY
coupe...should I try and locate an original or should I just have it
replaced with new class and can I find new glass on the market today?
thanks,
Tim
