[Tigers] Windshield Glass

[Tom Witt]

If they are the same then it is a bonanza to the Caravelle folks.  The 
Alpine/Tiger windshield I found for $139.  The Caravelle..., $745 plus $80 
shipping from a vendor named "Mr. Fiat." So, that would be no advantage to 
the Alpine/Tiger folks.

But, yes, they do look similar. The glass matching can be tricky though. I 
have a '64 Studebaker Daytona. The difference between the sedan and the 
convertible/wagon models is a barely noticeable 1/2" in the far upper 
corners.  So, you can be that..., close and still not.  The Studebaker 
windshield is almost impossible to find and I eventually settled on the 
convertible/wagon glass with the corners cut back.  The guy used an angle 
grinder and then I smoothed the edges with a Dremel and a v-e-r-y light 
touch.

I could be mistaken but I noticed the windshield glass on a 1962 Renault
Caravelle that was shown in the February 12 Bring a Trailer Daily Mail
seems to be identical to the Tiger's windshield.  The rake angle and corner
radii in particular look the same.  Does anyone know if Rootes used a
windshield that was in common with other vehicles' windshields?
