Hi
I have gone thru my Hollander To see if the windshield and reveal molding in a 52 Cadillac COUPE is the same  that is in a Buick Roadmaster model 76R and a Buick Super model 56R. I believe they are the same but I can't totaly verify it by the book. Can anyone tell me for absolute certain, one way or the other ?  Thanks

Joe, Years ago i had my windshield broken out on my 51 Cad. when the hood popped up. The only windshield we could find came out of a Buick of the same year. I don't remember what model but i am sure if you measure, it will fit. I am quite sure the 52 is the same as mine.

Joe according to the Hollander manual, the 56r Buick is the same as the 76r Riveria Cpe. Part ( Index #) is 855. The 52 Cadillac  Coupe  is index # 855 and also FYI are the coupes from 50 &51 model 62s, and 53 hardtop. So looks like you have a winner. Incidently, the model 61s from 51 & 50 won't fit, nor any 4 door. Ron

Thanks.
That's what I thought when I read my Hollander but wasn't absolutly sure. The reason I wanted to know is because there is an outside visor, available, that will fit those Buick models which, in turn, should fit a Cadillac COUPE.
