Probably someone took a Plymouth 2-door wagon and cut away. Many years ago
in Winnipeg a local auto repair shop had a 1957 Chrysler Windsor pickup.
Not sure what series or body style they took it from, but the rear window
was from a 2-door hardtop. It was a ver professional job with no signs ig
butchering, at least on the outside. Do not know what happened to it.
Tell the fellow to look for a data plate on the firewall or inner fenders.
I, too, would be interested in seeing what it looked like.
