The Cadillacs in the 80's used a DW 881 the buicks may be the same.

You have a big problem !

Most Eureka's used a custom windshield made by Guardian. When Eureka went out of business a few years ago, Accubilt bought many of their assets, but apparently, not the windshield molds.

Guardian probably still has the molds, but no-one seems to be able to get the windshields made..

If you find an answer, please let me know.

ira, you are the guru of obsolete and hard to get glass, i can't belive you have problems finding anything.

in all the years i have had you find me stuff, only once have you not been able to find what i needed.

i am shocked you are almost human.

If you have a windshield we can make you a glass. Its not cheap but it can be done. $2,000.00 for the tooling $1,200.00 for the glass + shipping charges.
If your interested let me know. We do this for the TV/Movie industry on one-of glasses in clear so they can film actors in the vehicles. We can also make them in tint/shaded.

Ira, wasnt this the modified W906 seems like abot 4 or 6 inches longer.Ill try to look in files but had same problem about 4 years ago.Called a funeral home localy and he gave me several manu.Turned out others used this same w/s.Will try to answer tomorrow night.

Ralph,

I'm almost blushing ! It's tough to live up to your opinion of me, but thanks a lot..

The Eureke windshield was always an expensive one, costing about $1500.00 when they were available.

Lee's solution is probably the only viable alternative since my source of used Hearse glasses seems to have disappeared.

Hey Ira:
Nice words, super human huh?? Boy, wait til everyone sees some of the obsolete/ hard to find glass I am working on- even you will be impressed MR GURU!
