Antique Ford (I think) Windows

2002-06-28T00:22:00.000Z

Hello I was cleaning out an attic when I came upon a couple of old car windows. I believe they are originals from an old Model A or T. Im not into cars persay so I could use some help identifying them and possibly selling them.One of he windows has some info on them. It says something about not exceeding 20 miles an hour and also some info about not revving the motor without a load on it. There is also a tag that says Pittsburg Plate Glass Co. Ford City,PA Glazing Quality. They both are black shaped in a H with wing nuts on the outsides to adjust the pitch of he windows. There is 2 windows in each one. one about 11 inches the other about 17 inches. The individual windows have metal frames around them except for where the two windows hinge.They are attached to the vehicle with 3 bolts on each side. I can provide pictures if anyone is further interested. Let me know what you guys think of my find!

These sound like "wind wings" that were a common accessory on many cars in the 20's & 30's. They are usually clamped on each side the windshield frame to help reduce wind blowing into the passenger compartment of an open car.<P>It's hard to tell what they might fit without actually seeing them. Can you post a picture? They may or may not go on a Ford. Probably, they will fit lots of different cars.<P>Since CCCA is not a club that you'll find many Fords in (there is one), you may get more information from the AACA Discussion forum which you can navigate to by using the "Hop To" button at the bottom of the page.
