The channels that the glass goes in is more important for me as mind is all corroded which I think is the reason the glass cracked in the first place. So if you have the window channels that would be great!

Should be able to get new glass from any of the resto glass places, like Ball's(Vintage glass), etc.  There's a couple more advertised that I just don't recall right now.  Check your "starter" or Hemmings, etc.  Most even take a pattern for flat glass if they don't have the dimensions.
The chrome looks good so the channels can be refitted with the rubber materials and restoration specialties or Steele Rubber, would have possibly.
Any good auto glass shop can probably do the work, too. 
Not likely to find good used glass if it's a common corrosion issue and rare model.  Wondering if there's some other underlying structural issues...But looks like good old stress cracking of the layers.

If it is the bottom channel, check with your local auto glass shop.  I had a '60 coupe with rusted out bottom channels for the window glass, my local auto glass shop had the channel in lengths - cut as necessary.  Seems to me I had to cut off the window regulator attach and reweld onto the new channel, but it has been a long time since I did that project.  Paint the new channel with something like Rustoleum Rust Reformer before installing the glass and it will last a long time.
The flat glass itself is easily cut by an auto glass shop using the old glass as a pattern.

Getting the correct tinting will be the problem when getting glass cut.
