Greetings,
  In the next couple of weeks or so, I expect arrival separately of a '57 Eldo Biarritz and a '57 Series 62 convertible.  Each needs attention to some of the side window GLASS....... Specifically, I need a rear driver-side window for the Biarritz and the front glass (flat) for each side on the Series 62 conv. 
  I am hoping some of you more knowledgeable than I can comment on interchangeability of the glass among the '57 and '58 models.  Any recommendations/opinions for acquiring the above pieces would be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
  Regards, Xavier

 The flat glass for the front doors is the same for all 57-58 conv  and coupe models.  The rear quarter glass is the same only on the conv models. Specificly The Hollander #1744 Front door fits Buick 57 models 56c,56R,75R,76A,76R Coupe&conv:1958 models 56R,75R, 755 Coupe &75C,756 Conv:Cadillac 57-58 6237DX, SDX, 2dr HT,6267X,SX conv.  Hollander #1750 fits Buick 56C,76C conv; cadillac 57-58 6267 X,SX Conv. Be aware that some cars have tinted glass and some do not. Most towns do have glass shops that can still cut flat glass using the old glass as a pattern. Special hobby cutters will give you the option of etched dates and LOGO's.Warren
